Hey guys,

So

Advice Corner....

TIPS OF THE WEEK...

How to get through exams!!!

    Get help: ask a teacher or tutor about how to revise, and exam skills - how to work when you are in an exam.
    Take short rests during your time of work and revision. If your mind is tired, it will not remember well.
    Plan your work: revise at times when you know you will work at your best.
    Stay healthy: get enough sleep, eat sensibly.
    Exercise: you need exercise to work well. Walk, run, play sport - whatever you enjoy.
    Be positive: stop thinking about the future and failing.
    Do your best: no-one can do more than this.
    Be alert: if you feel ill, talk to someone about your worries.
    But don't be too relaxed! Some stress over exams makes you work hard for them.
  1. Be sensible: if it upsets you to talk to your friends about an exam when it is finished, don't do it! In fact, don't even think about the exam you have finished. What is done is done. You cannot change what you have written!

So

So give some of your own advice on how to get through exams!!!

nice topic,saira!!

here are some tips:

1. Socialize - Believe it or not, locking yourself away in a dark room for days on end studying is a sure fire way to burn yourself out too quickly and in my case, study sessions that last that long cause me to start forgetting other useful information. Spend time studying, but spend an equal time with your friends.

2. Exercise - Exercise helps me to relieve stress, especially with huge stress build-up's the night before a big exam. So emember to exercise your body as well as your brain.

3. Track your eating habits - Everybody's heard that coffee' and coca-cola are great for keeping you awake during an all nighter, but there's so much more to it. Pizza, Coke all seem like great things to be consuming to keep your energy levels up, but I find they just make you crash and burn after a few hours.

Keep a balanced diet a few weeks leading up to exams and sure, go for the coke and coffee' late at nights, but i also find eating a second meal at around 2 am helps too.

4. Have frequent breaks - Do not study for any longer than 2-3 hrs at any given time. Sure i'll spend all day studying sometimes, but your brain needs rest, and I'll bet your hands do too after all that writing. Study for an hr or two, then walk away and maybe get some of the 1st and 2nd points into you. Let your brain absorb all the information you just took in, then come back to it in an hour's time or so. trust me it helps me remember stuff much longer than just that night and makes you feel so much better.

5. Celebration - After all your exams are finished, a very important part to never forget is to make sure you catch up on all the fun you lost. So go get out, have fun, HEAPS OF FUN! Next semester is still a while away right?

I wouldn't say I stick to these points all the time, but alot of these points really help me out alot during exam time, hopefully they can help you out a little too!😳
