Crazy
Study
Tips
to Help
ROCK
Your
Final Exams !!

Crazy tip #1: Reward yourself
The Idea :
Eat a gummie bear every time you
finish a section. (Replace candy with
whatever your favorite is)
Crazy tip #2: Laugh a little, laugh a lot
The Idea : Have you ever laughed so hard you started
crying? Have you ever laughed equally as hard
but didn’t cry? With so much stress looming
over getting a solid grade on your finals,
it’s important to take a laughing break.
Try watching a funny sitcom or
YouTube video. (just make sure it’s only a
short break and you return to your studies)
Crazy tip #3: Be a teacher
The Idea : A great way to test your knowledge is by
teaching someone else what you know. It’s
not just about memorizing words but
understanding concepts and theories and
applying them to your knowledge. Find a
friend or your significant other (or someone
else who is willing to listen) and explain
what you’ve learned. If you can teach them
what you know, like a new concept or
theory, then you’re ready to rock this exam!
Crazy tip #4: Get Hypnotized
The Idea : Okay so now I’m legit sounding crazy, but
according to hypnosis experts this can
actually help. How exactly? Hypnosis allows
your conscious and subconscious mind to
work together, making it possible to retain
information much faster than normal.
Experts say that you can use the power of
positive affirmation in the same way. Repeat
after me:“I am focused and thinking clearly.
I am a successful student. I have the power
to remember what I studied.” Repeat
again.Just believing you will ace your
exam…will help you ace your exam!
Crazy tip #5: No all nighters!
The Idea :
Chances are you’ve pulled one or two of
these over the past few months but honestly
cramming is the worst thing you can do before
an exam. Not only are you stressing about
learning an entire semester worth of knowledge
in a few hours, but most likely you’re
going to forget what you’ve learned AND miss
out on sleep which essential before writing a
final. The part of our brains that deals with
memory is more active when we sleep, so
even if you spent all night cramming information
into your head, chances are you won’t
remember any of it anyways. Insufficient
sleep also messes with concentration and
your ability to make decisions, meaning you
won’t be focused for that final.
