THERE’ IS just no way to avoid
them -- exams are coming up, and
‘coming up fast.

For those students who want to
go to post-secondary institutions,
end-of-year exams are more im-

portant than ever as university _

placement competition grows.

Aa the ‘exams. approach, more

- and more-students begin to open
‘their books’ and ‘settle into the
routine of studying. .
- Studying is an art and those who
are good at it nave an easier time
plowing through the ever-present
piles .of textbooks and reams of
classroom notes, ©
For efficient studying, the ex-
perts advise, ensure there are-no

‘interruptions to distract from the’

‘goal at hand. Taking the phone off:
_. the hook is a start. : ‘

More than afew hours of
valuable study time have been lost
when friends drop by for a brief
chat that finishes up stretching
through Hil! Street Blues.

‘Studying means having the
willpower to .set aside a specified

amount of time for academic pur-, |:

"suits. ‘There will be lots.o

, should-'be ..
enough to eat a sandwich.
A proper study area is essential.

Comfort and efficiency. should be.
combined to, get ‘the most out of |
studying. Poor. working surroun- _

’ dings are plain frustrating.- °-- -

_Ample desk space, good lighting © =:

and a:sturdy chair’ make studying

' -easier:—-, and anything 'that makes.
studying a little more pleasurable is

. a definite bonus. ot
“Cramming’. for an exam is
generally a poor way to study.
‘While this can be effective, for
some,. cramming is often. a
“ counter-productive study tech-
nique. : , . “
Leaving studying until the last
minute causes stress and anxiety
and will leave exam writers tired
and worn out on the day of: their
important exam.
Some students find that taking a
break from studying on the night
before the exam actually helps

* them to be in top shape to tackle

the next day’s test.

»: Preparation is often the toughest
part of an exam, But these tech-
niques help take some of the
“trauma out of studying and will
hopefully lead to better results.
