Do you get nervous and not know what to do the day before an exam? Read these tips（技巧）.

1.       Take the day off from studying.

Research has shown that studying right before an exam is more likely to hurt than to help. Why? Because the information studied is still floating around in your short-term memory and actually interferes (干扰) recall of the information that you have studied days, weeks or even months before.

2.       Plan something fun to do as a reward for all the effort you have put into getting ready.

Call friends to make plans for the time after the exam. Take in a good movie or shop at a favorite store. In short, do something interesting that you have put off during the previous weeks of preparing and treat yourself to something special.

3.       Watch your intake of caffeine.

Nothing drives up your anxiety level faster than not being able to fall asleep the night before an exam, so avoid drinks, like coffee, tea, or colas.

4.       Try to relax with physically tiring activities.

Do some activities like swimming, jogging, or biking so that you will feel tired enough to sleep. A warm shower or bath close to bedtime will also help relax you. Unless you know exactly how it will affect you the next day, avoid taking any sleeping pills because they may leave you feeling drowsy during the exam, which will affect your performance.

5.       _________________________________________________.
