Exam pressure is something we can all relate to. Fortunately, we’re not alone when it comes to coping with study stress. During these intensive two weeks, your fellow students and staff members can help. We asked your Student Representative Council representatives for their tips on how to cope with stress while preparing for and undertaking exams:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018<\/span><\/i>Your brain processes and integrates information while you\u2019re sleeping\u2014make certain you\u2019re getting enough. A tired brain is not an effective brain.\u2019<\/span><\/i>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Kristine\u00a0(Nursing)<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u2018Draw as many pictures as you can and use mind-maps with multiple\u00a0<\/span><\/i>colours<\/span><\/i>. Put the learning outcome in the\u00a0<\/span><\/i>centre<\/span><\/i>\u00a0then draw branches off it with each related concept. Tables are (also) your best friend for\u00a0organising\u00a0information. Focus on differences and similarities for\u00a0concepts\u00a0and medications.\u2019<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018Take a break!!! If something isn’t working out, leave it, come back to it and look at it from another perspective.\u2019<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Michael\u00a0(Criminology)<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u2018Listen to lectures and podcasts while you walk. Or go for a walk and try to recall everything you can about the subject matter and then check what you missed when you get back and revise.\u2019<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u2018It\u2019s important to look after yourself while studying. Take frequent short breaks, and make sure you\u2019re drinking enough water!\u2019<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Lana\u00a0(Business\/Government & International Relations)<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u2018Being well rested and healthy is productive.\u00a0Believe\u00a0in your ability; clearer healthier minds tend to produce better outcomes.\u2019<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Michelle\u00a0(Psychology\/Criminology)<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A common theme we can take from\u00a0the experience of these students is\u00a0that\u00a0organising\u00a0your study time, plus balancing your\u00a0leisure\u00a0time, equals a reduction in stress\u00a0during\u00a0exams.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
