Exams are right around the corner and I’d thought what a better time to share with you five things I do to stay organised during exams. Start Early!Starting early is the key. Leaving your revision time to the very last minute tends to increase stress, which may not be very healthy for you. Thus, for huge exams, like your finals, I would highly recommend you start revising at least a month ahead. You don’t have to study start await, but just planning it out, seeing what needs to be covered, and finding the issues involved is really important. Effective Study SessionsMake your study sessions effective. It is one thing to ‘study’ - involving your phone, taking extended break on youtube and skimming through textbook. And, another to actually study, which means being active in your learning, pushing your ability and sticking to it. Relax!Having breaks is the key to an effective study session. Break sessions avoids burn outs. Take some time off - you don’t have to study 24/7. It’s best if your studied an hour with 15-20 minutes intervals. Take some time each day to do something that you enjoy. It might be watching an episode of a show, seeing your friends, or even reading a book. Get Enough SleepSleep is key to ensuring good mental health. Examination periods are busy and stressful times, so make sure you’re getting enough sleep, especially the night before your exam. Be sure you take at least 6 to 8 hours of sleep everyday. Always stay positive!Always remember to stay positive regardless the situation. whilst exams may seem like the be all and end all, they aren’t. Even if your final marks aren’t what you want, there are always opportunities to improve and learn. 💌

I teach at university and these are tips I share with my students. The biggest one I stress is efficient study time. I encourage the students to utilise their break to get small portions of their assessments done. Because its a short period of time and only a short demand, students have told me they are more efficient and get more done during this time.

Plan a goal and start working towards it. Going to University or college is something new and exciting to do for a student. I agree with stay positive is the key. I still remember my fond memories going to University.

These are great tips. I know they are for exam time but I could apply these for general day-to-day adulting too.

This is such great advice! Being prepared and getting enough sleep is critical to success. Staying up all night before an exam doesn't usually work well.

Great tips and I sure could have used them years ago. Being prepared and getting enough sleep is not always what I did in the past especially the not enough sleep.

Always start your revision early for exams. That way, you won't need to rush about cramming almost everything you would have understood earlier.

These helpful hints are great. Breaks are really important because it allows you to refresh your mind. I am bad at this when I'm working, sometimes I'll sit at my desk for hours without getting up!
