How to cope with exam session

1. Avoid distraction
Try to focus on what you have to do. It is recommended to put away your phone for better concentration.
Social media seems to be the major distraction. Opening one platform at a time is sure to take a lot of your
time.

2. Music
Statistic data indicates that listening to music has good impact on our memorization. The time of
concentration is also extended. Choose classical music or something calming in order not to dance or lose
focus.

3. Set your schedule for revision


You need to prioritize the subjects and devote more done to those you feel you lag. It will help you to learn
the important topics and tackle the problems easily. The moment you finish with one thing, start with
another. Do not leave it for the last minute. This will surely lead to exam stress.

Try to set goals for yourself, and after completing them, reward yourself. You will be eager to go further.

According to psychology studies, the average human brain can only focus on one task effectively for about
45 minutes. The breaks outdoors because being around nature can also help reduce stress. Determine the
duration of your break and do not exceed it.

6. Get enough sleep. Not getting a full night's rest can contribute to feelings of fatigue, stress, and anxiety. If you
have trouble sleeping block out sounds by changing your environment wearing earplugs.

exam. Caffeine can increase feelings of anxiety and stress.
