Examination Period: Advice for Master's Students

An admittedly tongue-in-cheek survival guide from a 'real' student:

Make a revision plan...

...and put it under your pillow. Perhaps it will do the work for you.

Open the textbook...

...after two hours examining the cover and meditating on the contents page.

Take a break...

...after five minutes of studying. Even your brain needs a rest.

Play a recorded lecture in the background...

...while watching cat videos. It might help with stress.

Realise the full scale of the situation...

...the day before the exam. Do not forget a lucky chocolate bar.

Going into the examination?

Speak confidently and write neatly. Even if your answer misses the point, perhaps presentation will help.

On a more serious note: sleep, eat properly, study a little at a time and remember that you are not alone.
