How do you study best when revising for exams? Can you knuckle down for hours on end with your trusty Mars bars and Lucozade at your side? Or do you need plenty of breaks, fresh air and clean living? We all have different methods of studying, we suss out what works best for us early on and tend to stick with it throughout our academic careers.
