If you're watching this, it is likely exam time
You're probably stressing, maybe you're procrastinating
whatever the case I'm going to make your life easier
give me two minutes and you'll be ready to hit the books.
Now, let's get to it. Tip 1 Get organized.
Make a to-do list and schedule your day
Make sure you have everything you need including
books, notes and other reference material at your fingertips
Tip 2 choose your time and place.
Midnight is no time to start studying.
You're going to accomplish a lot more if your mind and body are well rested
Get comfortable, eliminate all distractions, open a window,
the fresh air and sunlight will do you a world of good
Tip 3. Have a plan.
Different subjects require different approaches.
If you can't solve them now, you won't be able to during the exam.
Other subjects require you to learn a concept.
The best approach is to review and re-write your notes.
Not with the goal of memorization,
but to truly know what you're talking about
Tip 4. Take breaks
Don't try to take in everything in one go.
It's overwhelming, study in chunks
less than one hour at a time, and then give yourself a break.
Play a game, take a walk, grab a bite,
whatever works for you,
but don't take too long and don't lose your focus.
Tip 5. Be ready on exam day.
Get a good sleep, at least 8 hours
review your notes one last time
and arrive at the exam room with time to spare.
There it is. Follow these simple tips,
Stay positive and success is yours.
