I will succeed. Not immediately. But definitely.
Hello, hi there. Recently I made a post about what to do the day of your exam and itās still getting notes which is amazing. Thank you all. So now, please enjoy these realistic tips for the night before your exam that do not involve perfum, gum, or cramming. Please donāt cram.
Get a good nightās sleep. I know that for many of us this is a major challenge because we deal with insomnia or anxiety disorders that keep us awake. Try taking a warm bath in Epsom salts. Stay in the tub until you break a sweat. Pick your salts wisely because some of them are more energizing (i.e lavender salts are more energizing I have found).
If you are having trouble sleeping because of tension in your neck/back, try to relieve the tension by rolling out your muscles on the floor, or conciously tensing them up for about 10-20 seconds before slowing releasing. The Epsom salt bath really helps with any sort of tension. I have chronic nerve pain from a car accident and itās one of the few things that help me that is more holistic.
Donāt shy away from melatonin. It works wonders and you wonāt feel āhung overā in the morning like you may with Z-Quil. They have melatonin gummies too!
Try lowering your body temperature. Sleep naked. Itās life changing. If you canāt sleep naked (because you live in a dorm) still do your best to keep it cool. Our bodies get tired when their temps are lower.
Additionally, do not cram for any exam. The night before your exam is not the time to be learning any new material. We are way past that. Gently refresh the material that you already know; however, do focus on items you may struggle with. Remember, althetes donāt go crazy hard the day before a game - treat your brain the same way; no heavy lifting.
You may take this time to rewrite your notes. Itās a simple act that can definitely help you to remember.
Try teaching the material to someone else, or if no one else is available - stand in the mirror and give your own personal TedTalk on the subject. Hey, if it works for Sims, right? Remember that if you can teach the material, you know it. Reiterating in your own words is so helpful.
This should go without saying, but eat a good dinner.
Use the āMatch,ā āTest,ā and āSpellā functions on Quizlet. Very helpful.
Have I said do not cram yet?
Lay out your clothes for the morning. The fewer decisions the better.
Youāre going to want to wake up with enough time to review your study materials a couple more times, get ready for the day, and leave for the exam early (so that you have time to review when you get there and to ensure you are on time!) So set your alarm in advance.
Make sure that you set out your blue book, calculator, etc. so that you are prepared for the exam tomorrow and you arenāt sprinting across campus to find somewhere that sells blue books.
Triple check that alarm.
Try to limit your use of electronics 30 minutes before you need to fall asleep. I know that isnāt always reasonable though. Just make sure your phone is plugged in so that it is well charged and ON when you need that alarm to go off.
Drink some water.
Donāt drink any coffee or other caffeinated beverage/over induldge in nicotine/or take your *prescription!!!* adderall after 8 PM. Really for the Adderall donāt take it after like 5:30. You will be up all night long, my friend.
Okay last time: do not cram for any exam. Thatās like over extertion for your brain and it will take you time to recover. If you continuously pull all nighters to cram you will crash and burn eventually. So just start early on your study plan. You can make time for it, I promise.
Happy studying, realistic students!
thissss but make it wlw

After youāve studied your material for an exam, brain dump everything you can remember from what you studied. Write it all out on a sheet (or more) of paper. Then, go back over the notes/study materials you made before and add the info you missed into your brain dump sheets in red pen. Then, after youāre done, flashcard all the info in red. Go through those flashcards every day. This is the way to prevent overstudying things you already know and understudying the things you donāt fully know/understand.
second year of uni is over!
