Surviving the annual exam period
You cannot do well in any exam that you sleep through…
The best revision is always a sound night’s sleep. Spare yourself anxiety: know where you need to be and when for each exam. Arrive unhurried, in good time, and make sure you live healthily and sustainably. Here are a few tips on getting the most from your revision and exams.
Stay well
- Eat healthy foods
- Drink plenty – use the water fountain (down the corridor just to the left of the main entrance; ask for a water bottle refill in the café if the water fountain is not working)
- Get enough, regular sleep (at home!)
- Exercise often
Take regular breaks
- Move and stretch to avoid getting stiff
- Focus on a completely different task to reset your mind and help you concentrate better and remember more from your revision
Seek variety
- A change of scene and subject can help you maintain perspective
Chat to your friends
- A problem shared is often a problem halved. Meet your friends in the Library cafe, 3rd Space, the Group Study zone on the ground floor and have a brief chat about anything that troubles you
