Never compromise or sacrifice your overall health, esecially in taking major exams. Remember that it is your brain and muscles that do the reviewing for ou. They need more support and rest at this time than at other times. This is why you must rest your mind after hours of rigid review, not necessarily by sleeping or napping. Just changing your activity or thoughts to light matters already rests your mind. One good way to break the fatigue or pressure is to do light exercise or walk down your garden or park. or simply jog in you room.
Exams are a mental endeavor which can be altered by being physical. Do something else that is physically useful besides exercising, walking around or jogging. Clean your room, take a shower or weed like the garden, instead.
Eat your snacks and regular meals on time as if you are not engaged in a major exercise. Eat the same amount of food that you usually do, but arrange with your mother to cook more protein-rich foods at this time. Milk and milk products, fish and meats are very good sources of protein which builds and renew brain cells. Vitamin B-rich foods are very good for the nerves. Wheat and whole grains are excellent sources. Drink and eat without hurrying and do not review while eating. Self-discipline is a most important part of effective studying. Periodic reviews require full concentration.
