Fit for Exams📚

Hello. Many of us have exams now, so I decided to share some ways I stay on track during this stressful period.

1. Study guides

I like to review the topics by making summary study guides, where I take questions from the book or sometimes our teachers give us question sheets. And I write a short answer to all of them and go through them. Make the answers short.

1. Flashcards

Another thing I like to use during review is flashcards. For example for medical English, where there are a lot of terms to memorize, I make flashcards and take them everywhere. And review them whenever I can. You can do them in all subjects. You can use question sheet and make flash cards for them as well.

1. Hard things come first

After going through the questions, look where you have a hard time to memorize or understand, and study those aspects. Don’t just leave them. Spent time, watch a lecture on the topic or ask someone to explain it to you if needed. As we all know, usually on the exams those topics that were hard for us appear. 

1. Stay Hydrated

I know, you already hear this advice! But it is important, to stay hydrated. Your brain will function better, and you will be more productive. 

1. Don’t Forget about Rest

Studying is important, but you need the energy to write your exam as well. So take breaks between study sessions. Go take a walk, drink something or eat. Talk with friends. And then back to study.

1. Find your productive place.

Find where you are the most productive, and spend your time there with your books and notes. Personally, for me it is the library, I don’t take my laptop there, only books and notes, & all the stationary I will need (highlighters, pencils, pens etc.) Others like to study in a cafe or at home. So just find your place. Don’t forget to turn off your phone off!

1. Sleep 

I can’t tell you the importance of the sleep. You need to be rested to do your best in the exam. So a good night sleep will be very handy. No studying on the exam day. 

Good luck with your exams! You got it, don’t worry and believe in yourself😊
