a. What do you do before an exam?
I usually start studying few days before an exam. For example if it is a difficult exam, I start five or six days before. However if it is an easy exam I study just two days. I try to study everything before the last day, in which I only revise all the contents.

d. Best places to travel in Europe.
It depends on the person but one of my best places to go is Gothenburg. It is a city in Sweden where you can have so much fun.
