Some tips on how to get focused:
Be absolutely clear about why you're studying and what you want to do.
If you are uncertain about your goals then you will be distracted easily and waste time.
Allocate the 24 hours in your day to the important things you want in your life - study, friends, family, sport etc. Allocate sufficient time to each of these activities.
Use a diary to monitor how time is spent. Recording how much time is spent on a particular activity will help you improve your self-discipline and determine how well you are managing your time.
Practice managing your time effectively. This is a skill that will help you not only at university, but also as a working professional
Keeping exam nerves at bay
Exams are one of the cruel certainties of university life. Since there's no way of avoiding them, the best plan is to prepare well to maximise your success on exam day.
Tip 1: Preparation is the key
This doesn't mean reading set texts or half-heartedly completing problems or essay questions found in textbooks.
Answer exam-style questions at an exam pace. Find copies of past exams and practise them in a mock exam environment - within the time limit set and with no breaks. By getting used to completing two or three hour exam papers you'll be prepared for the real thing and won't suffer from 'brain overload'.
Tip 2: Look after yourself!
Preparing for exams is stressful - but you can manage the nerves by following a few simple rules:
Eat balanced, nutritious meals
Get eight hours of sleep each night
Don't have coffee or any other stimulants, especially at night
Exercise regularly
Try to relax
Avoid arguments
Something to disgest.
