Tips on getting shit done a few days before the exam

Count the number of days left till the exam.

Count the number of topics you need to learn/revise before the exam.

Divide the number of topics by the number of days (you may reserve one or two days for the final revision). This is the amount of work you have to do per day.

Schedule your tasks every day from the time you wake up to the time you go to bed. Try to calculate as realistically as possible the amount of time you would need for each task (I like using Sectograph app for that).

Reserve 1-3 extra hours at the end of every day because you’re not gonna fit everything into the timetable anyway. Believe me.

Don’t forget to schedule some time for rest as well. Once more, be realistic.

Alternate your tasks throughout the day as much as possible. Don’t study the same subject or topic longer than a few hours.

Don’t forget to leave some time for meals, showering, social media and maybe even a film or two.

Just do stuff.

Don’t panic, you’ll get through that.

more unconventional study tips

- if you drank coffee while revising, drink coffee before the exam. if you didn’t, don’t

- listen to one type of music (genre/artist) while revising a certain topic, listen to that music on your way to the exam

- wear the same colour nail polish/perfume when revising and when you’re in the exam

- keep your sleep schedule the same. try to get 8 hours while revising and also the night before the exam. don’t stay up cramming and exhaust yourself

- it’s better to do one hour every day in the week leading up to the exam than 7 hours in one day the day before

these tips can help trigger your memory, they sound weird but they really do work

People think they know you. They think they know how you’re handling a situation. But the truth is no one knows. No one knows what happens after you leave them, when you’re lying in bed or sitting over your breakfast alone and all you want to do is cry or scream. They don’t know what’s going on inside your head—the mind-numbing cocktail of anger and sadness and guilt. This isn’t their fault. They just don’t know. And so they pretend and they say you’re doing great when you’re really not. And this makes everyone feel better. Everybody but you.

Some uni advice

you will surely benefit from going to the lectures, but you don’t have to be always present

when commuting, read or listen to something, don’t just stand there

put your highlighters to good use, pretty books may look nice but you need to give some purpose to their existence

let’s be honest, most of us don’t study nearly as much as we should, but doing your homework and having somewhat tidy notes is the key to passing everything

be inspired by others, but don’t follow them blindly (that actually applies to your whole life)

take opportunities

find something you love doing outside uni or you’ll go crazy

take care of yourself and others

remember where you come from, but don’t get stuck in the past

remind yourself why you’re doing it

never give up

Work Smarter, Not Harder: study tips psychology taught me

study in shorter intervals and take breaks (ie, 40 minutes studying and 20 minutes break)

during your break don’t watch tv or surf the internet. get outside if you can and go for a walk. or at least listen to some instrumental music and walk around your hall. or meditate or do some art. anything that doesn’t require super directed attention. this allows your attention to be replenished. it’s like a muscle and you gotta give it time to rest. tv doesn’t allow for that.

relate the information to yourself and your life. creating visual images will improve your memory.

when studying, take notes by hand and put them in your own words. generating material yourself will encode the material better in your brain, and you’ll remember it better

don’t just reread, rehearse! quiz yourself on the materials. if you use a visual image “memory palace” technique, walk yourself through it. you’re likely to remember information you’ve tested yourself on better.

organizing information into groups that make sense create more connections in your brain and allow you to remember things better. the more meaningful connections you make, the better.

make sure the last thing you do before bed is study. no phone, no netflix. your brain will process what you’ve just done while you sleep and this improve recall.

(feel free to add any!)
