STEPS TO SUCCESS: ADVICE FROM YOUR EDUCATION OFFICER 1) Pick up your free TCDSU exam planner so that you know exactly how much time you have and can figure out how to spend it wisely 2) Make sure you have your tutor’s contact details. If an emergency situation arises, e.g. you are feeling sick or you sleep in, they are your first point of call. 3) When you’re planning your study period, plan your free time as well, e.g. study breaks. You’ll find it much easier to avoid distractions if you know how much time you have for a break 4) Visit the Student Learning Development website at http://student-learning.tcd.ie/undergraduate/topics/exams/ for a range of strategies and tips on planning your revision, practicing your exam performance and making sure that you give your best performance on the day. 5) Get a good night’s sleep the night before. It’s better to go to bed early and wake up early to look at your notes than wake up sluggish and unable to deal with any surprises
