LEAVING CERT IN FIVE DAYS..

A good study tip is to make sure you take small breaks every 60 to 90 minutes of studying.

Also, don't snack while studying, but have some chocolate or sugar of some kind and during the break enjoy a treat. It does not have to be much, research studies have shown even just the taste of something sweet can help with a concept called "ego-depletion".

Study in the same place each day.

Break up the subject into small areas, focus on one chapter or section of content at a time. If one section is too confusing, move to the next section and then come back later.

Hope this helps.

I'd just focus on your studies and not the exams. Don't even think about what topics or questions might come up, or what results you'll get, etc, because it's futile. Everything you've learned will come to you during the exams, so just focus your attetion on studying.

First of all, you have to relax. Your brain have difficulties with the long-term information storage when you are nervous or stressed. Let your mind relax, sleep well.

Secondly, I always try to create my own version of a perfect test. Envision how your perfect test would look like. What questions would be in there? Write those questions down. Study them thoroughly. Visualize how you come into the class and your professor gives you the exact test that you just prepared. After this, just let it go, like someone else is taking care of that. You have to be 100% sure you are going to answer those questions.

THE KEY: On your test day you will have all kinds of crazy ideas, act on it, it's the univers is trying to guide you (where to sit, what to say).

Third, study with music playing in the background or in your headphones. Music has to be without word. That way you will store incoming information more thoroughly and then recall it easily when you need it.
