Likewise, I think planning aheadas well. You should always be ahead of everybody else as far as you can becauseleaving it to the last minute is not the way to go. I think you’ll find that this year isfull of stress – you want to prevent as much stress so that you can do the bestpossible in your exams and tests. Also, spend some good time relaxing and resting.
