10 productivity tips that actually work during exam : Medschool Edition
1. Stop passive studying . Active recall will help you retain the content better.
2. Read only important or past year questions, trying to finish everything is like willing entering a pitfall
3. Get adequate sleep ( 5 to 6 hours)
4. Eat well - eat healthy and nutritious food , avoid take outs and risk of GIT issues right before an exam.
5. Make a priority list , study all high priority topics first
6. Don't waste hours making a "perfect" schedule , just start , everything will fall in place
7. Eat the Frog ! Finish difficult topics first before panic starts
8. Time yourself : Don't spend too much time on one topic , you need to cover other important topics too and syllabus is vast in med school.
9. Study before hand. Being consistent and studying for 1 to 2 hours daily for 6 times a week will take you a long way instead of studying for 12 hours for 2 days a week.
10. Breathe. Take care of your mind . Journal. It will help with the stress. Ask yourself: what is bothering me? Why is it bothering me? What can i do about it ?
What's the hardest part of staying productive ?
