Keep it clean around you. Clean spaces are good, because your eyes are more likely to stay on the task you’re doing. Having a mess around you will cause a mess in your head as well.

Drink water. Keeping your brain in a cool bath of fluids really helps it absorb more information.

Make it fun. Taking notes in coloured pens or listening to music can really help eliminating the dull atmosphere that comes with strict studying. Eating candy is also a good thing as you will associate your studies with something you like.

Take small steps. When there’s too much to do, it’s easy to just make it worse by not knowing where to start and thus lose control over the situation. When losing control you’re more likely to give up. But instead, try starting out taking small steps. You’ll then see that small steps take you far and in the right direction.

Try your best. If you think that you’ll fail your exam or what else it may be, you will do so. That attitude makes you give up already before you have given it a chance. But by trying you’ll always get nearer and nearer a pass. And even though you might fail the first times, you have gained knowledge during the way there and it will get easier for each time you try.
