The night before is for reviewing, not learning new topics. Here’s how to use it well.

Do this

  • Go through your summary notes or flashcards once
  • Do a few quick questions on your weakest topic
  • Pack everything you need: pens, calculator, ID, water
  • Plan your route and wake-up time

Avoid this

Don’t stay up late. Sleep helps your brain hold on to what you revised. Skip energy drinks and avoid comparing notes with anxious friends.

✍️
Stop studying at least an hour before bed. Your brain needs the wind-down.
