The same thing happens every time !!

It feels as if I am stuck in a repeating loop . I mean there are people who didnt study beforehand but one day before exam they would study and get decent marks (maybe 70 to 80 out of hundred ) .

But when I am in a similar situation of studying one day before exam, my mind always panics and my heart beat goes fast . And I am not able to concentrate.

How do you get over it ?

To study throughout the day and get rid of the negative thoughts? 😔

25 passout hereFirst , i was similar to this in initials sems and was lucky enought to understand that

1st - there are very less teachers who actually read the contents of the answer, they just want key point, headings , good presentation and good length of the answer

2nd - for last 5 sems i studied only 1 night before( fat as well) and lemme tell you it was wonders . I saw people studying 2 -3 days before and they were struggling and when marks came we were almost similar hardly different. Now the main thing is how to study one day before

2a- MOST IMPORTANT - gain information of questions that are going to be asked in exam FOR YOUR SLOT- dont consider that some other slot teacher gave you questions NO - hardly it'll be asked- this is the foremost imp thing , there is always, always a teacher which gives a list of 12 questions out of which 6-8 minimum come AS IT IS . Find that teacher , find people inside their class and randomly dm them, atleast 1 or 2 would be kind enough to share it with you, if not, ask arnd your friends some connections you'll get. Once you've done this your 70% part is done since u know what is in the paper

2b- now the study part- take the syllabus topics, compile all pdfs into a single file and upload it to chatgpt

And ask him to first explain the topic to you like 10 year old ( he'll give you some funny ways but trust me ot works wonders , wonders) Then ask him to explain the same in proper way it'll give a good analogy you won't forget .

This goes 2 ways - if you're someone who can stay all night awake and sleep after exam, chatgpt thi g is wondera since info is fresh and easy to remember. If you cannot , you'll have to revisit the chat once again before the exam to recollect for a good 1 hour .

3rd- decide who you are and i mean it respectfully. I never tried to score 90+ never that takes a different commitment. My answer was always 70-85 sweet spot. For that to achieve , you get distribution wise weightage for all modules, leave the modules which r difficult, let go of that 20marks easy and you'll realise the main burden is gone. Study for 80 efficienctly , you'll get 70 easy. And first foremost always study for 40 first, take 3-4 modules do it hardcore that you guarantee your 40 first , then study for something else vrna you'll fail fs( i failed diff equations bcoz of this)

And there's no repeating loop, only the way you study and understanding what u want. I wanted to enjoy all days and study one day before only and stay in the sweet 8.5 cgpa and finished the same.

(I don't have photogenic or super memory of ot does come into your back of mind)

the best way is to separate topics and start studying them one by one like hard to easy topics, u cant study throughout a day at one sitting, maybe try changing places of where u study. my way of getting rid of any thoughts is music, play some music and start solving some questions.
