Exam time - why worry?
So what if everyone else in your class, group or year are busy trying desperately to cram every bit of information into their heads? You studied hard enough throughout the year, so you should have absorbed enough to pass the year-end examination.

Or did you? Well, you did tend to go out with friends whenever invited, and then there were plenty of occasions when you invited friends out too. Then there is your boyfriend or girlfriend - he or she demands a lot of your time. Anyway, you have a system. Based on earlier tests and exams, you have a reasonably good idea what's likely to come up in the exams. Is this scientific reasoning, or more like gambling at cards, where instinct counts for a lot? There is also that concern that cramming too hard will overheat your brain and make you look too stressed out - not at all cool. I have a solution: Spend some of your exam-study time with your head in the refrigerator. This will keep you cool. With your head on the lower shelf, you're facing that bottle of wine that your friend gave you. Just one glass would be nice. Stop all this! Get back to those books! There's more at Mentor.ac.
