If you’re a regular reader, you’ve seen lots of advice on how to study for college here. If you’re new, take a look at the archives to see what you missed. And read on for a few last minute pointers.
- Take care of yourself. Eat regularly, exercise, and try to get plenty of sleep.
- Moderation in all things . . . Avoid binging on sugar, caffeine, and alcohol. Binges will only serve as a roadblock to your goal of doing well on your exams.
- . . . this includes studying. Try to avoid the all night cram session – you will find that you have a hard time remembering everything you have studied. Study in shorter blocks (2 hours or so) and then take a break (30 minutes to two hours) to refresh and re-energize yourself.
- While you should focus on studying, you shouldn’t crawl into a hole to do so. Make sure you spend time around your friends and/or family (if you leave near them). It will help to keep you grounded and sane during this stressful time.
- The day of the final exam, get plenty of sleep the night before, make sure you eat that day, arrive to your exam early, and wear layers to ensure your comfort during the exam.
Hang in there – it will be over before you know it. Good luck!
