Effective study habits - Many people feel overwhelmed at exam time — having to revise a lot of

information in a short space of time and not understanding course material can be a big stress.

(For assistance with study skills at Deakin go to:

http://www.deakin.edu.au/current-students/study-support/study-skills/index.php)

Keep your routine outside studying + take regular breaks - It's important to have regular study

breaks and time for relaxation and exercise. Going for a walk, run, or to the gym is not a waste

of time, it is a great way to clear your head and help you study better.

Watching your favourite TV show or going to the movies are also good

ways to take a break from studying.

Limit drugs - Caffeine (Eg - coffee, no-doz, V) and other drugs

(Eg - speed, coke) give you a short lift before making you crash and

burn. They can make you feel sick, and unable to sleep or concentrate

properly. You actually study better with regular breaks, getting lots of

sleep, and from exercising (really!).

Manage expectations - External pressures around exams can be huge. It

can be hard to deal with, especially with family and people you respect,

but you need to remember that it's your life and your exam, with you in

control. Base expectations on doing the best you can do.

Look after your body - It's easy to let exams get on top of you and to forget to look after yourself.

If possible, try to get a good night’s sleep. It's a good time to make an effort to eat healthy,

including eating plenty of fruits and vegetables.

Ask for + accept support - If you're feeling overwhelmed, you might find it

helpful to talk to someone. It's also important to ask for, and accept, support from friends, family

or staff.

(If you need any further advice or support, Deakin Student Life have counsellors to help you over at
