The After
After class …
Review the work while it’s still
fresh in your mind. It doesn’t
have to take long, but even just
skimming over your notes can help
you identify those areas where you
may need help.
File your notes. Create your own
filing system, whether electronic
or in hardcopy, and keep all the
content for each course together.
Consider starting a study group.
Many brains make light work!
Having other students to discuss
your coursework with can be very
helpful.
Pat yourself on the back. After that
exam you nailed due to your shiny
new study habits, celebrate! You
deserve it.
Self-care
It doesn’t matter how much you cram the day before the exam or how
many hours you’re putting in at the library, if you’re exhausted or hungry
it’s going to affect your performance. Remember that you can’t pour
from an empty cup, so make sure that you:
1
get
enough
sleep (at the
right time)
2
eat
regular
meals (and
remember
the fruit
and veg)

3
exercise
(a little
every day
goes a long
way)
4
spend
time
relaxing
with friends
5
ask for
help if
you need it.
