How to study the night before an exam
Step 1~Starting Off : Do not study in any comfortable area such as your bed or a couch because chances are you'll fall asleep very quickly(especially if your late night studying lol). Make sure your at a desk or table in a chair, decent lighting, and make sure to sit in a good posture and not slouch!
Step 2~Cut out the distractions : Anything that may distract you or be tempting to distract you PUT IT AWAY!! If it's a phone shut it completely off unless you need it for information then turn off notifications (but I do recommend to keep the cell phone away and maybe use a laptop or textbook if you have one.) If it's a book that you are really, really into I know your struggle put just put it down somewhere where it can't get you distracted on what your focus is.
Step 3~Make sure you get sleep!!(plz do) : Before you start studying for the exam, make sure to set a time for you to go to bed because you will need it for the exam or test the next day!!! You can either keep a clock near you to stay aware of the time or just simply set an alarm on it. You'll be grateful and thank yourself in the morning...trust me.
Step 4~Get yourself a healthy snack : Yes, yes i know you're probably wondering "why a healthy snack??? i need coffee and a truck load of candy!!!", you are very much correct, most people do drink cups of coffee the whole night and/or eat a bunch of candy just to be able to stay up to study, but the truth is that just does ya bad. Once you have consumed all the sugar and caffeine as you may know, you will get a big hyper-boost of energy making your body stay awake the rest of the night which is terrible!!! plz do not do this to your body because when you've had the big sugar rush the whole night, it comes to exam time and you'd just coming crashing down when it's time to test. So please get a tall glass of cold water (i know it sounds good), and get a healthy snack like fruits that contain NATURAL sugar and will do a better job keeping you focused and awake. Try an apple :)
Step 5~Stay Calm, Concentrate and Prioritize : Focus on the main ideas and the important information! Highlight or underline topics that may show up during the exam. Look closely at the vocabulary and learn the key formulas. Don't waste your time trying to re-learn everything just focus on the important things more, spending time on unimportant things will make your brain focus on too many things and maybe the wrong things, so pay attention and concentrate. And remember to stay calm.
Step 6~Make Flashcards : Making flashcards really help! Sometimes i'd scroll through tumblr (obviously before studying) and maybe get so inspiration on flashcards. If you don't have time or don't care to decorate and make the flashcards neat don't stress. Just write down the vocabulary word and on the back, write the definition.
Step 7~Take water breaks : In between every section of studying take a sip of water and relax for a moment maybe stand up, let the blood flow a little, sit back down, then prepare to get back to work.
Step 8~Go over and Recite everything once more : Going over everything one more time helps your brain skim through and remind what was just studied and maybe you can memorize some :)
Step 8~Get a good night sleep! : After a study session like that your body needs to rest for tomorrow's testing so make sure you get all the possible sleep you can get.
hope this helped :) take deep breaths don't panic and DRINK WATER lol
