In a University full of lectures we didn’t attend, insane teachers and a student bar on campus - ‘Kato, that’s us, and our two best friends (the WSU and Nexus) try to do the impossible: Create a guide (in one day) that’ll help you survive the exams of Waikato University. Welcome to Kato’s Declassified Study Week Survival Guide.

It might get you a step in the right direction if your stuck.
3. ASK chat GPT questions
Set up a quiet study space, (the library or a lab)
Great if you find you get too easily distracted at home. Take yourself out of the house, sit down somewhere, and stay somewhere until you’ve accomplished your goal. Great tip for churning out a big chunk of essays too.
Listen to music without lyrics
This doesn’t apply to everybody. But if you’ve been told by the library attendants to stop humming “BBL Drizzy”, you need it.
4. 5.
Contact your teacher if you have any questions
We promise most of them don’t bite. But seriously, they’re happy to help with any points your confused on, and generally do want you to pass their papers. I had a tutor reply to me at 11am once! (please go to sleep earlier Rowan)
Did someone say a little treat for all their hard work??? :) but it does actually give you some incentive to study, also it pre-sets a time limit!
BOOKMARKS INSTEAD OF TABS I SWEAR TO GOD
YOUR LAPTOP SHOULDN’T SOUND LIKE A ROCKET LAUNCH! YOU CAN ADD FOLDERS TO BOOKMARKS TOO! Worries about losing your position on the page? USE THE FIND FEATURE! PLEASE JUST ORGANIZE YOUR LIFE! Study over a few days, try not to cram it all into one cram sesh We know you were thinking about it. Don’t. Because
12. 13. 14. 15.
Block your phone or make it unusable during the study
period
Obvious, but we all know it’s for the best.
focus on your weak points
Don’t just repeat the stuff you already know, or you’ll just waste your time. We know it feels good to be good at stuff, and you will be in the tests. But full marks in one section probably won’t be enough, so challenge yourself in your stuudies and it’ll pay off.
Create a Kahoot or a fun game to remember important the questions
Not only fun for the whole study group, but by actually making the questions you’ll be reinforcing that information to stay in your brain!
