Exams season is upon us, which means after months of learning, revising and memorising it's nearly crunch time.

But it doesn't have to be a stressful experience.

BBC News spoke to teachers and tutors for their top tips on revising, sitting exams and how to take care of yourself too.

Simon Beale, a secondary school history and politics teacher, says you should try to improve your understanding of topics and commit key terms to memory to prepare for "differently phrased" questions coming up on exam day.

Merrison says you should try to avoid comparing answers with friends, as "your answers are never going to be identical and it doesn't mean you've got it wrong".

They say after the exam is done:

While exams are important, Bruff stresses that "no grade is worth your wellbeing".

Havenga and Merrison point out there is the option of retaking the test if needed.

Merrison adds: "There are so many other ways into careers - even if it doesn't go how you thought it would."

Unions warn teachers will quit and there are fears for pupils' wellbeing as classroom tests increase.
