Final exams are here and students across the country are pouring coffee and holding up in libraries to devour a semester's worth of information in just a few nights. Is this really the best way to make the grade/position? Science says no - stress and cramming harm grades more than they help them.
Tips for success - Don't let test anxiety and running affect your grades this semester. Try following Tips.
Study for 30-40 minutes a day in the week leading up to the test - Don't let test anxiety and running affect your grades this semester. Try following Tips.
Exercise before you study - Exercise before studying and taking exams gets blood flowing to your brain, helping you focus and absorb more information.
Sleep after studying - During sleep, the brain encodes what it has recently learned into memory. Rather than staying up all night cramming, studying earlier and rest up - you'll remember more in the morning.
Eat a healthy breakfast the morning of the exam - A healthy breakfast of eggs, fruit, and nuts the morning of a test will provide your body with the protein, Vitamin B, antioxidants, and Omega-3 acids necessary to stay alert and focused.
