The night before an exam can be quite the marathon. Mostly because college breeds unhealthy test preparation. I’m here to tell you that we’re doing it all wrong.

Don’t:

Pull an all-nighter

Drink an abundance of caffeine

Cram

Do:

Go to bed early

Eat a good breakfast

Alternate studying spots

Minimize distractions

Quiz yourself

Take a break

Plan your study schedule

Go to office hours if you need to

Set an alarm

Good luck!!
