Exams - One Final Effort

Perhaps I am the odd one out, but at school, college and finally University I used to enjoy taking exams.

I would tell myself that there was no one to shout at me, no misbehaviour would be taking place, and perhaps irrationally, argue with myself that other students would feel under stress so using some unexplained psychology within me I refused to be stressed. Somehow it worked but I appreciate it may not work for everyone. So why not give it a go. Advice to students on how to prepare for exams is given by all educational institutions and can be found in astronomical proportions within the internet. The advice may differ slightly but in general will cover similar ground, but no matter how good the advice may be you will need maintained selfdiscipline and motivation to follow it.

Have A Digital Detox Day – It will not be as tough as you think, try it for one day during the week. This will save you being distracted. Writing down notes as opposed to typing will help you focus and process relevant information. Remember you will have to use your own handwriting for the majority of exams that you sit thus the requirement to practice handwritten answers.

Try Not To Unduly Worry – It is natural to feel pressurised give yourself a smile and think positively. You will be amazed how a little smile guides your mind towards a positive thought.

Eat Healthy Regular Meals – Include a balanced diet with fish, poultry, fruits, vegetables, fruits and a little treat with some dark chocolate. This will help you to maintain energy levels and mood whilst decreasing tiredness and irritability.
