Exams

Well, we're winding up the semester, and along with that comes exams. I feel surprisingly content at the moment, and have succeeded in minimising the rattling nerves which I so often succumb to during this time period. And I think I owe this to early preparation of my mind by extensive reading on handling the situation. I thought it might be a good idea to compile a few helpful links about stress and the exam period, to help some, but to help me too.

This source discusses utilising your stress as a positive tool, rather than a negative one. To focus your energy and using that stress to propel you further.

Studying for Exams
This site talks about how to prepare for different exams types, such as open book, essay or multiple choice. The only thing I hate about these websites is when they say "you should begin studying about four weeks before your exams", when really, if I'm looking at these sites then I've usually got less time than 4 weeks already.

Surviving Exams
And Lastly, the top ten tips to tackling exams.

And lastly a few of my own tips.
1. Try hypnotism
2. Eat (don't forget)
3. What you do during your study, do during your exam, ie. if you drink water. (note: there are usually restrictions to what you can do in the exam, so perhaps revers the process, and do during your studying, what you'll do during the exam)

If these tips help no one else, then they'll just help remind me of what I should do.
