NAIL Your Exams 🔨
Have the BEST Chance this Exam Season:
1. 🚫 STOP Procrastinating: by having an exam earlier.
If you need urgency, create it by making a mock exam a week before the real thing with a friend.
2. 📚 Get a STUDY STRATEGY: don’t just mindlessly re-read notes.
Use a combination of teaching, flashcards, and mindmaps to actively look for gaps in your knowledge and test from memory.
3. 🗓️ Maintain a REVISION SCHEDULE: Good revision takes time.
Start testing your knowledge every weekend to save work for yourself later.
4. 🙅♂️ AVOID All-Nighters: at least 3 nights before exams.
Sleep is needed by your brain to make knowledge usable.
If you do an all-nighter before an exam, your “IQ” drops and you won’t be able to access what you studied!
5. 🤸 CHANGE it Up: If you change nothing, nothing changes.
If you bomb exams all the time, don’t prepare the same way. (See tip number 2)
6. 💌 SELF CARE: Take care of yourself, but don’t use it as an excuse to slack off.
Prioritise sleep, minimise unhealthy distractions, and keep up with exercise.
These things all improve cognitive performance which makes your brain sharper.
7. 😰 UNNECESSARY Worry: You can’t control everything.
Worry less about what could go wrong and more about how you are preparing.
There’s a level of worrying that keeps us careful, and there’s a level which is just unhealthy and unhelpful.
📩 Save this for your next exam and share it with another 3am study buddy.
