journalling is distracting sometimes but we have to take therapeutic breaks to stay sane, and one of the other ways i do so is by creating tones with watercolour (I'm still learning)

Out today and saw this at Daiso so I got it at $2! Not sure if it's worth it but it's 30x8 pieces...
Don't study hard. Just study smart.
myself and my experiences. Studying hard can stress you sick, make make you unhappy and tired because your hours of studying does not necessarily translate to absorbed knowledge + doing well on test/exam. No, studying smart is having quality over quantity, having the wisdom to study the topics that will (coincidentally? I think not) come out during the test/exam. Being productive, taking short breaks and still be able to do things you love doing and go out with friends.
geography flashcards! (got tired of sitting at my desk so migrated to lying on my belly on the floor while going through these cards)
6 days to Science practicals, 15 days to O levels, 44 days to the end of Os! I really want to get it over and done with (have even got a list of what to do after Os) but at the same time I want more time to study for it and be more prepared…
note: I know i said i would post a tip a day for the days leading to o levels, but I'd have to take back my words because I'm gonna be on 90% hiatus (UNLESS YOU MESSAGE A TIP REQUEST) till 18 Nov, that's when my O levels end
Try to develop a pre-exam routine or habit and stick to it, like the way some athletes amd performers have a pre-game/performance routine (listening to a specific playlist, meditating, 5 minutes of silence etc). I know a lot of parents hand their children various types of supplements to provide that boost of energy or to have maximum focus during the exam (e.g. ginseng chicken, essence of chicken, etc etc). And some say they do better with then without it. Placebo effect or not, I think it’s a good idea to develop a routine before your exam, to let your brain know, “this is it”. For me I listen to Mozart’s Sonata for Two Pianos (in D major, K 488) because 1. I like it, and 2. Science has proven the benefits ( http://www.smart-kit.com/s245/how-the-amazing-mozart-k448-can-increase-your-iq-listen-now/ ) though it may be short-lived, it gets me in the right mood and state of mind and calms me down.
a tip a day from mystudypencil (16 days till O levels)
Use your homework diary/planner/calendar printable/to do list printables, to plan ahead and pace your studying.
a tip a day from mystudypencil (17 days till Os)
I knew some people who (unfortunately) blanked out during their exams because they did not get enough rest and their brain could not be at its best. So get enough sleep ESPECIALLY the night before your papers and not burn midnight oil!
a tip a day from mystudypencil (18 days till o levels eek)
Instead of coffee and caffeine, try other ways to increase alertness and concentration: ○ tea (non caffeinated like ginger/peppermint/chamomile, or green/black/red) ○ essential oils ○ juice (lemon juice) ○ nap/shower/others
