Exams just around the corner? Wasting too much time here and there and getting easily distracted by every worthless thing around you? Need help? Well, we don't think we can be of much help with that but what we can do is give you a few tips you might use to develop a better study plan and maybe, better grades.

I think we are all over the phase where we would deactivate our Facebook accounts because honestly, we cannot be in peace if we do not constantly keep checking Facebook groups on which all our studious classmates keep posting notes and lecture slides. We need Facebook to study these days. So tip number one, DO NOT deactivate your Facebook because you'd be at a loss.
Second of all, when you sit down after chalking out a study plan for yourself make sure you have enough food supplies because if you don't, you will keep getting up from your table to get food every now and then. Most importantly, eat as much as you want to. It helps. Even if you're gaining weight, just let it be. You can lose it later but you cannot afford to lose a good grade.

Stay away from negativity of any kind. Be it a friend who keeps whining, or your girlfriend who keeps crying, just stay away from it for a week. Focus. You can definitely make up to them after the dreadful week has passed. I'll say this again, you cannot afford to lose a good grade.

Fourthly, stay away from anyone who you know has a problem for every solution.
Contrary to popular belief, cramming the night before exam doesn't help. Get enough sleep. And by enough we mean enough. Don't over or under sleep. Too much or too little of anything isn't good. Even sleep.


And now. Chalk out a wonderful timetable for yourself. Even if you don't end up following it, it might help you get a grip on the situation. And do this ideally two weeks before the exams. This way you will know what to do and what not to do. Another baby step towards getting a good grade.
And of course we don't need to tell you to study. You're smart enough already.

Happy studying!
