Its April and that means one thing, exam time is almost upon us! You have 11 weeks of revision for each class to cram into just a couple of weeks, but fear not! Here at HC Strath we are keeping you sane during your exam revision by providing you with our top 5 tips!

 

1. Its ok to take a break. Take a short 5 minute break every hour or so to clear your head before moving onto your next task! We, as humans, only have a limited concentration span, so leave your desk, get up and walk around or grab a snack! 

 

2. Remind youself why you are doing it. Its so easy to lose motivation over the semester with continuous assignments due and especially during exam time when its hard to see the end! However, continually remind yourself why you want to do well and this will spur you to keep going and nail your next exam! 

 

 

3. Oh we wish! Keep it real, put in the hard work and the results will pay off!

 

4. Try your best to stay positive during study time and focus on everything you have already done rather than everything you need to do. You know you are capable of doing it all, so just power through!

 

3. Do not stay up all night the night before your exam! It’s not worth it and you will more than likely fall asleep during the actual exam! Have an early night to make sure you are energised and your brain is fully working on exam day! 

 

HC Strath wishes you good luck for your exams!!
