Fishy preparation for Exams

BBC News - One in three students wears 'lucky exam underwear': "One in three students admits to wearing "good luck underwear" to try to boost exam chances, a poll suggests.

As well as lucky pants, some also use lucky pens, wear lucky jewellery or take charms into exams, the survey for a stationery company reports.

Almost a quarter (23%) of the 15 to 23-year-olds polled say they only start revision the day before the exam.

Revision expert Patrick Wilson warned that charms and rituals were no substitute for proper revision.

Some 60% of 2,000 students questioned by OnePoll for penmakers Bic said they changed their diet before exams because they believe some foods can boost their brain power and memory.

More than half take up eating oily fish (53%) and 46% eat more fruit and vegetables."
