I have a huge exam tomorrow so I am studying a lot tonight but I keep taking breaks. I'm taking breaks because I can't remember or study for long periods of time without forgetting the information. I seem to remember and learn better when I study in shorter amount of time. I'm glad that I can look at my book but it is timed and sometimes the teachers make the open book tests and exams harder than the ones that are not. So I hope I do good on it.

What you have to do is set little goals for yourself to replace breaks. Do you have any snack in the house that you like? Take them out and break them up into pieces if it's appropriate. Every time you get through 17 minutes of studying enjoy some of your favorite snack. Why 17? Because even if you slip up during one of the sessions you should still get a solid half hour of studying for every 2. Before you know it you'll be focused and have gone through hours of good studying time.

You remind me of my time when I was a student. I was so afraid of the exams at that time. Be sure I had to stay up at night to go over my lessons so that I might do better in my exams. I drank lots of coffee to make myself awake. It was a nightmare. Anyway, I hope you can have good scores for your exam tomorrow. Good luck!

Just do the best you can l, stay calm so you can think clearly, recheck your answers to be sure you didnt check the wrong answer. All in all, I think you'll do just fine. You're not taking things lightly but very seriously from the get go so I think you'll be just fine. However, I still wish you luck!

i myself used to have difficulties in studying. i talked to my psychology professor about it. he suggested that i should drink coffee, or coke, for stimulation of our memory. he said coke also contains caffeine that stimulates our brain for alertness. this would also help you from falling asleep while studying. i didn't really researched if this was true but it worked for me. hope it will too for you.

The night before the exam is the most exciting and tensed time in your student life. You just get tensed all the time and have big plans for the next day though you are fully confident on the subject, you still seems to have that slight tension. It's a joy to pass those nights. Miss Student life totally!!!

I think it is a good idea if you learn the essential of the subjects if your teacher give open book tests and exams. Try to use your logical to solve your exams tomorrow. Actually , all knowledge and science based on the logical theory. Good luck! Keep calm and avoid nervous to pass the exams.

It is good to relax a bit one day before exam. Taking breaks in between is good. Especially have an early rest/sleep tonight. I wish you all the best !

I have the same problem. I think what we need is a longer study time since unlike others we take a lot of breaks when we study. :)
