The Right Way to Cram Before an Exam

  1. Don’t Pull an All-Nighter Before the Exam
    Wind down your study session by 9 PM to give your brain a break and aim for bed by 11 PM to ensure you get some rest.

  2. Skip the Shower the Day Before
    It’s best to avoid showering the day before the exam to prevent catching a cold that could mess up your test-taking state.

  3. Stick with Your Trusted Pen
    Use the pen you’re most comfortable with – it’ll help you recall what you’ve written even if you forget. Make sure it has at least half its ink left; new cartridges can dry out easily. Bring a few extras just in case!

  4. Opt for Warm Water, Not Cold
    Stick with warm water before the exam to prevent any stomachaches. And remember, not too much of it!

  5. Eat Breakfast, But Not Too Much
    A good breakfast will keep your energy up, but avoid overeating as it can make you feel sleepy.

  6. Rub Your Ears for a Quick Energy Boost
    Give your ears a gentle rub until they feel slightly warm. It boosts blood circulation and wakes up your brain.

  7. Trust Your Gut
    When in doubt, go with your first instinct and resist the urge to change your answers.

  8. Choose Your Outfit Wisely
    Avoid flashy colors that might draw undue attention from the proctor and increase your anxiety. Instead, opt for low-saturation purples or comfortable clothes you’re used to wearing.
