General Exam Study Tips?

[ben92]

Hey guys

It's been about a week since I began studying for my exams. I've taken the initiative to deactivate Facebook until my final exam is completed and I'm downloading some relaxing classical music to help me study.

What else do VCE veterans here think I should do to get the most out of myself for these exams?

Cheers

Regular exercise. Seems kind of counter-intuitive but if you don't push yourself too much (e.g. just go for a gentle walk around the block) it's actually a great energy boost.

Eat well (duh).

Keep your desk neat and have everything you need at hand (so you don't give yourself excuses to find pens, calculators, paper etc. which often leads to procrastination. Also I've found a neat desk makes me feel less panicky about the amount of shit I have to get through)

Coffee/coke/energy drinks are BAD... avoid them

hey man
getting rid of facebook is always a good thhing to do.

but bro
i think .. few things you should do
in my opinion
- dont listen to ANY TYPE of music when your studying ... unless its maths.
- make sure you are exercising 30 mins - 1 hour a day ( cardio work .. walking/running/cycling/swimming)
- eating well ( lots of veggies/nuts/tea/non sugar foods/fruits)
- sleeping well .. dont get distracted in your sleep by music etc . try to get full sleep cycles and minimum 7 hours sleep per night ..

now ...
the main thing is
how you study .

personally what i believe ( and its scientificly proven . but dont quote me on it)
the brain shuts down .. or atleast . diminishes in effectiveness after about 50 mins
so study for 50 mins . take a 5 min break ... revise what you studied for 5 mins
take another 5 min break
and back to another 50 mins study .. etc etc

when i say break for 5 mins
make sure you dont watch any tv/electronics/games etc ... it has the potential to interfere with the "setting" of the memory you learned. ... so when your on breaks .. go eat an apple . relax ... day dream .. but obviously not for hours on end .. just 5-10 mins

and most of all
dont stress
just keep studying
obviously you want to do good . just like alot of here ..
you gotta keep working hard
dont procrastinate .. the worst thing you can do is ... waste time thinking about how you want to study ...or when are you gonna study .. just bloody do it ..

keep it up man
 i wish you the best of luck
i hope my 2 cents helps out

STFU and study.

Go into beastmode. You dont live by human constraints anymore.
You study around the clock and YOU dont get fatigued. Afterall, youve entered beastmode.
You sleep at night real easy. Because everything you do is by the book.
Never do a thing irrational, studies forever, these tales are classical.
