Be Well: Pace yourself, and keep those stress levels in check with exercise, good diet, healthy sleep habits, and break times between studying. Take a look at our previous blog post on managing stress.

Be Prepared: Make sure you have the location details and times of your exams correct. This is where planners and calendars come in handy! Also, be sure you have all supplies you might need (pencils, calculators, additional paper, study sheets, etc.) in order.
