Preparing for exams? Then you must give yourself the best chance with these top five study tips to avoid stress getting over to you!
Give yourself enough time to study
Do not leave it until the last minute. There are some people who seem to thrive on last-minute preparations, but this is not the best way to approach an exam. To sort out your time management, set up a timetable for your study. Make a proper list mentioning the number of exams you have and on which day. Then organize your study accordingly. You may want to give some exams and more of study time than others, so as to find a balance that you might feel comfortable with.
Organize your study space
Make sure you have enough space to spread your textbooks and notes. Also, ensure you have enough light and a comfortable chair in your study room. Try to get rid of all the distractions and make sure you feel comfortable and are able to focus well. There are some people who want complete silence while there are some for whom music helps. Some of us need everything completely neat and well organized in order to concentrate, while others thrive in a more cluttered environment.
Practice old papers
One of the most effective ways to prepare for exams is to practice test papers well in advance. This will help you get used to the format of the papers. You can also time yourself as this will help you to increase your speed and help you to complete the paper in time.
Take Regular Breaks
Students might think it is best to study as many hours as possible, but this can actually be counterproductive. Studies have shown that for long-term retention of knowledge, taking regular breaks really help. Everyone is quite different, so, develop a study routine that works out the best for you. Try not to feel guilty about being out enjoying the sunshine instead of hunched over your textbooks. Remember taking breaks and being relaxed is important for a healthy brain.
Drink plenty of Water
As a final tip, remember that being well hydrated is important for your brain to work at its best. Make sure to drink plenty of water throughout your revision and also on your exam days.
