In order to get good grades, you will have to pass exams, and it can really help to revise a few days before the test. Ask family members and friends to quiz you on things.

If your school doesn't have one, wear suitable clothes (such as jeans, t-shirt and sneakers). When you wear makeup make sure you aren't wearing it to "fix" yourself- instead try to wear it for fun. You're perfect without makeup but experimenting with it can be really fun.

Have a variety of clothes.
- For everyone, a good selection would be casual dresses, formal dresses, jackets, leggings, t-shirts, tights, jeans, flats, heels, boots and trainers.

Smart shoes should be kept for school and special occasions, and for daily activities casual shoes should be worn.
