#ExamWeek

[junkhubtrail]

Week 9

This week was all about finals, and honestly, it felt like everything I learned throughout the term was all scrambled up in my head. I had to review multiple topics, especially the ones I wasn’t too confident. There are two parts of the exam, part 1 is multiple choice and identification for part 2. I tried my best to stay calm and break down each question carefully but the identification part was tough since the questions were situational and required analysis to come up with the correct answer.

Now that exams are done, it feels like a huge weight has been lifted. Just hoping the results reflect the effort I put in! Photos are not mine, ctto.

Surviving Exam Season: Overcoming the Struggles

Exams got me feeling like I'm swimming in a sea of stress and textbooks! I can't wait for this nightmare to be over. Who else is struggling to keep their head above water?

Tips to Handle Exam Stress

Here are some tips for how to handle exam stress.

Start Early: Don't wait until the last minute to study. Begin preparing well before your exams. Create a study plan and break your study materials into smaller parts.

Stay Tidy: Keep your study area clean and organized. Use tools like flashcards or colored notes to help you remember things. Being organized can make studying feel less overwhelming.

Relax: Take breaks and practice relaxation techniques like yoga or deep breathing. It's important to give your mind a rest during study sessions.

Stay Healthy: Eat healthy foods, exercise regularly, and get enough sleep. Taking care of your body helps you stay focused and handle stress better during exams.

Stay Positive: Maintain a positive mindset and focus on your strengths rather than dwelling on weaknesses. Visualize success and remind yourself that exams are just one part of your academic journey. Seek assistance from friends, family, or educators if you're feeling overburdened.

Exploring the Causes of Student Distress

Student distress can be caused by a variety of factors, and it's important to recognize and address these issues to support students effectively. Some common causes of student distress include:

Academic Pressure: The demands of coursework, exams, and assignments can be overwhelming for students, leading to stress and anxiety. Fear of academic failure or the pressure to excel academically can contribute to distress.

Financial Stress: Many students face financial challenges, including tuition fees, living expenses, and student loan debt. Financial stress can lead to anxiety and impact overall well-being.

Social Isolation: Loneliness and a lack of social support can lead to distress among students, particularly those who are far from home or struggle to make friends.

Mental Health Issues: Pre-existing mental health conditions or the development of new ones during college, such as depression or anxiety disorders, can cause significant distress.

To address student distress, many universities and colleges offer counseling and mental health services. Platforms like TalkToAngel can provide online counseling and support to students, making it easier for them to access professional help.

Preparing For 3 Weeks of Exams

In the month of September going into October, we have three exams in three weeks. That one sentence feels so intense because it feels like so much in such little time. Last week we had our first pathopharm exam. During the week leading up to this exam I felt like I couldn't catch my breath, between worrying about finishing assignments for other classes and preparing for this exam. In the end it ended up being alright, I got my work done and I passed the exam. This week we have our Med Surg exam, this exam is the one I am most worried about because I feel like the class hasn’t prepared me enough to be able to take an exam on it . Currently I am procrastinating my studying by writing this blog, do I regret it now? No. Will I regret it later? Probably. I have been studying for about 4 hours already today, so I might go nap. Maybe I’ll even try some breathing exercises to relieve some built up stress. I am in search of a different study location because I have felt trapped within the 4 walls of my dorm room, but I hate the library. Pls let know if you have any good spots on campus to study!

Good luck everyone!!

How to study for an exam in less than 24 hours

Even though usually I am a very disciplined student, I fucked up big this semester with my learning. And while I usually preach to stop studying the day before, I didn’t have the luxury this time to do so because I HADN’T EVEN OPEN MY BOOK. But somehow I managed to get more than 76% on all of the exams. So here is how I did it. 

1. Ask someone for help. In one of my previous posts, I said you have to be generous with your classmates and be willing to help. And this is why. One day, you’ll also need help and if you’re in good terms with everyone, you’ll increase your chances of getting that help. Ask them for tips the teacher might have given if you didn’t go to class, or if they can share their notes with you. Anything that can help you really. This is the fastest way to inform yourself about what might come in an exam. However, DO NOT MAKE THIS A HABIT. Everyone dislikes that one person who leeches off other’s hard work. But once every rare time is okay.  

2. Make a summary. Making a summary gives you the highlights of the material in a nutshell, which is exactly what you need in such a moment. You don’t need to read the entire book, cuz you’ll never finish that way. Most books nowadays already have a summary after each chapter. So you can use that as a guideline. However, I would recommend adding examples to these book summaries because they often lack one and having an example can totally make a difference in whether you understand and will remember. Also, if you have exam tips at hand and your teacher is to trust (because there’s always that one teacher who gives you false tips and fucks the entire class over) make a summary out of those tips, not only is this faster, it is likely to also be more precise. 

3. Learn what’s likely going to give you the most points first. Most of my exams are a combination of multiple choice questions and cases. Most of the times, the case is about 50-70% of the total points. So if your professor gives you tips for cases, learn those first! Understand every aspect of it and nail it! After all, multiple choice questions are more about understanding what you read and are easier to answer than the open-ended questions in which you have to give an argumentation. So starting off by the subjects who will give you the most points increases the chances of saving your ass. 

4. Test it out. THIS will truly give you an accurate view of whether or not you’re actually understanding and remembering what you’re learning. When I finish learning a chapter, I rest for some minutes, then look for a test online and take it. This gives me an overview of the aspects I do remember and which ones not and see if I can give a clear explanation. Always take this test written. Don’t say it out loud, because often when I do it, I have the tendency to half-ass my answers. And when I write it, I also have a documentation of my answer and can always go back and see if I can make some tweaks to it. 

5. For the love of god, take a nap. I don’t care if you’re planning to pull an all-nighter and survive on caffeine and Red Bull. Take a proper nap. Of course, you’re likely not to have the luxury of sleeping 8 hours, but a nap is the closest you can get and can totally help your brain strengthen those connections and feel more relaxed and at ease to take the test.

So that is what I did to survive this last fucking stressful but that’s my own fault semester. I really hope it helps you too and I want to know what you guys do when you have to learn for an exam the same day. Let’s all help each other!

I hadn’t eaten ramen since I was about 10 years old up until the other day, but I’m so glad I tried it again. Adding toppings to ramen really makes it feel like an actual meal 😂⠀
⠀
I’m finally done with finals (sorry for the lack of posts but I had to finish up the semester and decompress a little bit 😌), and now I just have one more week of work before I go home for Christmas 🙌. I’m very ready to just relax with my family and friends! ⠀
