P. 42
In your relaxation time - don't even think about work and exams - go out with
friends and enjoy yourself, listen to music, do whatever you enjoy and
whatever helps you to feel relaxed. That way you will feel more motivated to
continue revising after your relaxation time.
Have a balanced diet. Make sure that you always eat breakfast otherwise; you
will feel restless and out of energy throughout the day and will not be in the
right frame of mind to study. You can only concentrate properly when you are
physically and mentally fine.
If you were unable to concentrate, it would be better to have a break for a while
and then go back to studies.
Never go to sleep straight after revising - you need to have some relaxation
before the end of the day. Maybe have a relaxing bath before going to bed and
try to get to sleep at a reasonable time so you are not feeling tired the next day.
Don’t leave your revision for last hours
Before the day of the exams check, you have everything you need - pencils,
pens, rulers, etc.
On the day of your exams, get up early so you can take things at your own pace
- don't rush and get panicky about being late.
Read the whole exam paper before starting the exam as that will give you an
idea of how much time you will need for each question.
If you can't answer a question - don't panic - go onto the questions you feel
more confident about and go back to the more difficult ones later.
If you feel getting stressed and panicky- take some deep breaths, slow down
breathing, this will help you to calm down.
Don’t crib after your exams. Give yourself a pat for attempting all the
questions. Then relax.
