The dos and don’ts of studying for your exams

Eat. Sleep. Study. Repeat.

Yep, it's that time of year again. Now is the time to panic about all those lazy mornings you opted to stay in your comfy bed instead heading along to the clammy lecture theatre. Exams are only a few weeks away and you're already struggling. Worry not, JOE with thanks to Boost, are here to help with a handy guide of dos and don'ts. Do: Go to the library early to make sure you get a seat. Libraries can be hectic this time of year, so get in there early to avoid disappointment. Don't: Sleep in the library so you don't have to get up early. No matter how comfortable the crawl space is, this is a terrible idea. Do: Enjoy your library breaks. Everyone needs a little down time from intense study. Don't: Enjoy your breaks in the library. This is the quickest possible way to get hit over the head with a book about political anthology. Do: Get plenty of sleep the night before your exam. Being well rested is essential for concentration and focus during exam season. Don't: Get plenty of sleep during your exam. Bad things happen when you're tired. Do: Study in groups. This way your classmates can help you learn stuff you would have otherwised missed. Don't: Do your exam in groups. Cheating, or "conferring" as you like to put it, rarely goes down well with the examiner. Do: Resist all temptations during study time. As tough as this is, it's only temporary, so you should make sure your time is spent wisely. Don't: Give in to all your temptations before you study. Do: Become that little bit more alert with energy drinks such as Boost. Ideal when you need that extra kick. Don't: Give someone a literal kick to make them alert. That would be a very, very bad idea. So there you have it, the dos and don'ts of exam preparation. Just remember, there's always the repeats.
