I’ve believed the myth that studying till the last minute helps. I’ve tried to calm myself before my exams and written exams which ended in accolades I’ve never imagined. Even if you have bombed the exam, forget it the minute you hand in your papers. Nothing’s going to change after that.
Studying continuously for long hours is not beneficial, sometimes you yourself don’t realise when your active learning changed into passive reading. Short breaks helps in staying fresh and conscious of our progress.
