Consulting with professors is probably something that most students try to avoid doing. Some avoid it because of fear of being dubbed as a “teacher’s pet”, others may be intimidated by their teachers, while the majority of students are just too lazy to do so. Having consultations with your professors—especially for those subjects that you are having difficulties with—would help you a lot in understanding your lessons and obtaining high grades. Consultations would also help you in gauging your class standing; thus, allowing you to prepare better for your exams and class requirements.

In avoiding a stressful exams week, time management is key. By listing all of the things that you have to do and creating a schedule for accomplishing these things, you are more able to efficiently manage your time in fulfilling all of your school requirements.

Studying doesn’t always have to be boring. Group sessions make studying less tedious and therefore less stressful. Aside from this, group study sessions also help you in having a deeper understanding of your lessons. By hearing how your peers explain class concepts, you gain deeper insights.

Exams week is also the time when majority of class requirements are set. Studying for exams is already a handful and requires a lot of concentration. Worrying about your projects and papers would only make things more difficult for you. Thus, it would be helpful if you would start working on your class requirements months or weeks before their deadlines so that you’ll be able to focus on studying for your tests.

How to avoid a stressful exams week? Simple, you just have to relax. Once you’ve done all of the tips that were stated above, you are now allowed the luxury of relaxing and focusing solely on studying for your exams.
