• Its almost December, which not only brings
  the hectic holiday season, but it also means that
  you're nearing the end of your first term and
  exam season will be around the corner in January.
  If you feel like the exam rush is more stressful
  than the holiday rush, you're not alone. Study
  halls, dorm rooms, libraries, and student lounges
  will soon be full of people studying, and all of
  this hubbub can make it difficult to stay on
  track and find a time or place to study in peace.
  Check out the following tips and learn some
  proven ways to prepare for your exams while
  keeping your stress levels to a minimum.

Get Organized and Stay Organized

• During exams, organization is the key to your
  success. Being or staying organized starts with
  effective time management. Effective time
  management includes scheduling your study
  sessions and writing down important deadlines and
  test dates, but it also means budgeting some time
  for fun and relaxation. Set milestones to help
  you stay on track and motivated.

• Organization also includes smart, effective
  note-taking, such as writing down definitions and
  important facts on notecards or using different
  notebooks for each course. Finally, stay
  organized by making sure your study space is
  clean and clutter-free. A clutter-free
  environment makes it easier to avoid distraction. 

6
Join a Study Group

• For some people, studying in a group can
  actually increase their concentration and make
  the entire study process easier and faster. In a
  group, you can share notes, concerns, and
  solutions to problems. Having study partners can
  also help with concentration and procrastination
  issues. Plus, if you're living in off-campus
  Fanshawe College student housing, like R1,
  organizing a study group will be easy because
  there are plenty of places where study groups can
  meet.

Take Care of Yourself

• Exam-time can be stressful, and many students
  get stuck in a cycle of studying, working on
  assignments, and writing exams without a break.
  This cycle can make it easy for you to neglect
  yourself. What most students dont realize is
  that health and wellbeing can play a major role
  in academic performance youll need plenty of
  energy to perform at your best! To get this
  energy, you should eat healthy meals and snacks
  on a consistent basis, exercise, sleep seven to
  nine hours a night, and take breaks or do
  something fun when you need to. All of these
  activities will keep your mind sharp and your
  body fueled.

Reward Your Achievements

• The end of the semester can be so stressful
  that completing your exams is truly an
  achievement - and achievements should be
  rewarded! Dont be afraid to treat yourself after
  your exams and assignments are done. Make plans
  with friends for a nice dinner out, buy tickets
  to a concert or movie you want to see, or plan a
  night out bowling.

  your upcoming exams. Get your mind in the game
