The end of the academic year is just around the corner, and that can only mean hand-ins, revision, final papers, final exams, etc. It is a period that becomes a time of saturation and stress for many students. However, knowing how to get organised for studying during final exams and avoiding the most common mistakes can help students not to die trying.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> Being <\/span>well organised in these last weeks of the course<\/b> does not mean having a diary full of homework and locking yourself away all day to memorise course notes. It is about <\/span>making the most of your time, prioritising and also taking care of your mental and physical well-being.<\/b> For this, it is essential to know how to organise yourself during final exams and at Unihabit we bring you the following tips on how to organise your final exams and some recommendations for study techniques:<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> The first and most obvious step is to be clear about <\/span>what and how you are going to be assessed in each subject<\/b>, as not all exams are the same. To be clear about this, make a list or table for all subjects about the<\/span> type of exam, the date, the papers or deliverables <\/b>that must be handed in beforehand and how the mark will be weighted in the end.<\/span><\/p>\n Once you have made this list or table you<\/span> will be able to plan your time better and apply the different study techniques<\/b> in each subject. On the other hand, if the <\/span>exam is practical, it is best to spend time doing practical exercises or expositions out loud<\/b> to get the tone you want for the day of the exam. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div> One of the most common mistakes of many students is to <\/span>dedicate the same time to all the subjects without taking into account which are more complex or the difficulty of some or others.<\/b> For this, distributing the study time in a strategic way will allow the student:<\/span><\/p>\n *Remember that one hour of concentration is worth more than three hours with distractions, so <\/span>we encourage you to make the most of your concentration time<\/b> and make it shorter in order to have a perfect balance.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> As you have just read in the previous point, it is better to dedicate one hour of concentration to the maximum than three hours with distractions. Therefore, it is essential to dedicate and respect the moments of rest to obtain a good organization.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n To respect these times,<\/span> there are different techniques<\/b> such as the <\/span>Pomodoro technique<\/b> that consists of studying 25 minutes and resting 5, and every four cycles make a longer break of 15-30 minutes. It is important to choose, during these breaks, to walk, stretch, drink water or simply disconnect the mind.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n On the other hand,<\/span> respecting the hours of daily sleep is essential<\/b> for your body to have the necessary energy to face the final exams, so it is important to prioritize the hours of sleep and avoid staying up late just before the exams. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div> Even if you have a good memory, <\/span>having all the organization in your head can generate more stress or anxiety. <\/b>To avoid this, it is highly recommended to <\/span>use visual organizers<\/b> to help you observe the whole process and make the necessary adjustments.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n From this point on, <\/span>each student should use the method that works best for him or her<\/b>, since there are different tools to get organized to study for final exams. Some of the most <\/span>commonly used tools are the following:<\/b><\/p>\n Having a good <\/span>organization and planning throughout the course is essential,<\/b> but especially in these last weeks of the course where everything comes together and can generate more chaos. This will also help you to avoid forgetting possible day-to-day assignments.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div> It is inevitable<\/span> to want to cover a lot in a short time, but this can only generate frustration and anxiety.<\/b> In addition, if you have a good organization and planning, you should set specific and realistic goals in order to make progress. At this point in the course, it is better to have <\/span>small goals that you can achieve<\/b> than big goals that you cannot reach. On a personal level, crossing off small achievements or tasks will give you a sense of accomplishment and will motivate you to face these more intense weeks of the course.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> Knowing how to organize yourself to study for final exams also avoids practices that waste your energy or time such as:<\/span><\/p>\n5 key tips on how to get organised to study for final exams<\/b><\/h2><\/div>
