10 Things to do Before a Big Exam
-The Day Before-
1. Review Key Points – Notice the word Review –
The day before your test is less than ideal to be first learning something.
Hopefully you have already mastered the material, and it is just
a matter of giving that material an extra polish.
2. Eat Well-balanced Meals – Remember the phrase, You are what
you eat? Be sure to keep your body and your brain in peak
condition by feeding it the nutrients it needs to perform at its
best.
3. Feed Your Ruminator — Whatever we spend time doing,
thinking, and seeing in the 45 minutes before falling asleep is
what our brains ruminate on throughout the night. So it’s to
your advantage to feed it — the things you want to remember for
the next day’s exam.
4. Envisioning Your Success — Just before you drift off to
sleep, create a picture of yourself successfully completing your
exam. It’s most effective if you do it every night, but even one
day before your exam could make a significant difference in
creating better exam results.
5. Get A Good Night’s Sleep – You need your 7-8 hours of quality
sleep to perform at your best.
-The Day Of-
6. Eat Your Breakfast – Keep your body, mind and blood sugar in
balance.
7. Do Light Exercise — Light exercise will help you feel good
and energized, and help get more oxygen to your brain.
8. Do A Light Review — Glance through your exam preparation
materials one more time, and do any last minute checks you feel
you need.
9. Keep the Exam in Perspective – It’s just a test, not the end
of life on this planet. Allow yourself to relax and let your
worries go.
10. Breathe – A lot of students tense up, and forget to breathe,
or take shallow breaths. Be sure to breathe deeply from the
diaphragm. This will help your muscles feel better and will help
to clear your head and allow you to think better
