Hello, students) I decided to write this article after I met with several students who have a session on their nose ... The poor guys seemed blue and thinner to me - perhaps this is how the upcoming exams affect them.

So how did I manage to do it - to pass everything perfectly? What did I do and how did I feel before the exams?

1. I made a decision. In my freshman year, when they wanted to apply for a deduction, my friend suggested that I make a bet: “Listen, Andrey, let's finish the university with honors?”. I have a goal for the next five years.

2. There will be no balls. Many students like to go outside and call on SHARA ... I want to disappoint you - she does not come))) While others are yelling - get ready for the exam)

3. Scroll through everything, but memorize a few. Each teacher considers himself a hero if he gives you a ton of material in his subject ... How to learn it? It's just unrealistic ... I was saved more than once by a chip when I crammed a few tickets, and just read and remembered everything else. Arriving at the exam, I immediately began to give out everything I know in this course, while praising the teacher for the excellent presentation of the material and talking about what I was really interested in. It opened the heart of the teachers, and I immediately got an "A".

4. Learn to negotiate. I remember running to retake the same exam more than five times. The teacher was very strict and liked bribes. But I decided that I would hand over on my own. In the end, I came to the exam and passed everything. But I had to sweat, his department was at the very end of the university))) Understand that we are all people, and if you now learn how to communicate and negotiate with teachers, it will be easier for you in life. What does it mean to negotiate? Ask for extra questions or write an essay on its subject, etc.

5. Work the first years on the grade book. For the first two years I worked for the credit card, after that she started working for me. Many times I was saved by a request: “Look, I’m an excellent student, I need an “A” ... My goal is to get a red diploma". I assure you, teachers are people too, just learn to ask them and don't be afraid to retake.

6. The headman will not help. Do not rely on the fact that your headman will decide everything for you. First of all, she worries about herself, and then - how it will turn out. Take all responsibility into your own hands.

7. Be calm. I remember how before the exam, many were screaming and nervous. This makes no sense. Get ready, get a good night's sleep and go to the exam. Have a nice conversation with the teacher and get credit.

8. Build relationships with the dean's office and faculty. Participate in various meetings - everyone likes initiative people in the department. Communicate, offer your help and build trust. One day, it will play its part.

9. It's easier to pass orally. If you did not manage to pass the exam in writing, go to the teacher and take it orally. Here you need to use the 3rd paragraph.

10. Retake triples. To get a red diploma - you should not have triples. Therefore, do not be shy - go to the dean's office and take a slider) I did this more than once) In the fourth year, I retake the first session to get five)) The teachers understood everything and put, in most cases, automatically.

Good day, dear reader! From this article, you will learn about how to pass the first session. As is known from a common student parable, a student becomes a real student only after he successfully passes his first session at the university. It would seem that the session - what's so terrible? However, many first-year students are terribly afraid of the first session, because. clearly do not imagine what it is and what it is eaten with. Next, we will tell you in detail about the tricks that will help you become a real student.

The end of November makes many students feel a little fear - it will come soon ... SESSION. Even for some undergraduates, this word is still intimidating, and the onset of this examination period in student life is not a very joyful event for such students. In fact, the session is just a fairy tale ... for those who really learn!

Here is your first secret. passing the first session - study for the sake of knowledge, not for the sake of grades. If you make it a rule from the very beginning of your studies at the university that you need to gain knowledge at a university and only occasionally play the fool (it’s absolutely impossible without this, because student years are the best years in a person’s life, well, or of the most unforgettable), then you will never have problems with passing sessions.

The advice here is this: take your studies as a kind of springboard for your future jump into the world of success. That's what you came to college for, to achieve something special, right? And who reaches the heights of success? Whom do others envy and out of envy constantly criticize a successful person? Success is achieved only by the person who can do what others cannot do.

Of course, you can achieve success without studying in an academic environment. However, since you have chosen the university as a launching pad into a cloudless adult life, then please be so kind as to work to the maximum, i.e. Start learning from the month of August. Yes Yes. It is very important to come to the institute prepared in order to be ready for the academic loads, and most importantly, for the curriculum.

Here is the second secret for passing your first session - prepare well in advance for upcoming exams and then the session will turn out to be just a paradise for you.

Advance preparation does not imply daily sitting behind books and continuous cramming. Perhaps someone is interested, but this is not for us, not for pragmatic people. The result is important to us, because, as we have repeatedly written in our previous articles, now everyone needs the result. How it was obtained is another question.

However, you will be judged on the basis of your performance. No one will ask you at the age of 21 what grade you had in the third quarter in the Russian language. The maximum that they will ask: are there triples in the certificate? In general, they usually ask: what color is the diploma. Everything! How did you get it? What grades did you have in the quarters, how many books did you read - you will not be asked such questions. People have too little time to compile a detailed dossier about you. Now they are only doing a dossier of results and that's it.

However, if you achieve the result you need through the incessant cramming of books during your studies, then you should think about whether you chose the right specialty for receiving professional education? We are not saying that books should not be read, on the contrary, we always urge you, dear readers, to devote at least a little time every day to this important process - brain training through reading books.

However, one should not confuse simple reading, comprehension of what has been read, with clumsy cramming, i.e. banal memorization of material by heart with an almost complete misunderstanding of how to use the knowledge gained in life. We hope you understand this moment, we move on.

Third secret, or even better, the answer to the question " How to pass the first session" is an Do you have discipline and consistency in your actions?. What does it mean? And it's simple, gentlemen, if you do all your homework that you are asked, and, on top of that, you still go to almost all classes, then you are guaranteed a bonus in the form of indulgence during the session.

That student who studies conscientiously, and not just pretends to study, always looks higher in the eyes of the teacher than the rest of the student mass. What does it mean to be "not like everyone else"? It either means being different from others either for the worse or for the better, right? The first option does not suit us, because. you are set to become the first session, and moreover, pass it as best as possible.

Accordingly, you should be different from others for the better in order to be the first on the finish line, i.e. get the coveted grade "excellent" in your still clean grade book. Therefore, take the following rule into service: responsibility and discipline allows you to smooth out the difficulties of the upcoming session by up to 50%.

In simple words, this means the following: if you attend lectures and seminars to the maximum, always complete all assignments, including homework, then you can practically not be afraid of sessions, due to the lack of many items for you personally. After all, one who studies conscientiously, in many (or it may even happen that in all) subjects, receives an excellent mark “automatically”.

For those who are not in the know, an “automatic” grade is when you are given a grade for an exam without any answer to the exam ticket. However, you do not think, dear freshmen, that the "machine" is a freebie. This is far from the case, it is a freebie only during the session, but in order to get an “automatic” grade, you need hard work and perseverance throughout the semester, i.e. in order to get an excellent mark without answering the exam questions during the session, you need to work hard all six months to show the teacher that you really deserve an excellent mark, and that the “automatic” mark will be some kind of reward for you for working on throughout the semester.

Conclusion: Above we looked at the main tricks that will help you pass the first session. We will briefly list them again so that you remember the formula for successful university studies from the very first session.

So, the secrets of passing the first session:

1) study for knowledge, not for grades

2) prepare in advance for upcoming disciplines

3) Attend classes and do everything you are asked

These three simple rules will allow you to gain a foothold in your university and finally become a real student. If you apply these principles from the very beginning of your studies at the university, then you can be sure that you will successfully graduate from the institute, even, perhaps, with honors.

Remember that at first the student works for his record, and then the record works for him. Hence the conclusion: plow what you have urine in the first two years and enjoy student life and getting "automatic" in the senior years.

By the way, very soon we will write an article in which we will analyze in detail the schedule for preparing for exams. If you are interested in reading about how to plan your preparation in order to have time to prepare for all the exams, then we advise you to subscribe to site updates and then you will be the first to know about the release of this article!

I proceed from my own student experience and the experience of the director of the institute:

• attend all lectures
• don't miss practice
• try to participate as much as possible in practical classes in the analysis of situations, which gives bonuses at the session, including getting an exam / test “automatically”
• Feel free to ask questions if something is not clear
• participate in the life of the university (scientific, extracurricular) - additional bonuses for settling in a hostel, for transferring from commerce to the budget

BOGATYR Taras Vasilievich

First of all, try not to miss classes during the semester. Attending all lectures and practical classes in many disciplines, in addition to gaining knowledge and skills, also gives advantages when passing a test or exam, sometimes it is even officially fixed, and in most cases it works as a psychological technique that allows you to establish full interaction with the teacher (including . and on the exam).

Do not hesitate to ask the teacher how exactly the exam will be held, how many questions there will be in the ticket, what the tasks and assessment criteria will be (usually experienced students ask such questions, but you can start in the first year as well).

Use consultations, which are usually scheduled the day before the exam; Prepare a short list of questions in advance.

And most importantly, you need to carefully prepare for each exam: plan this work, taking into account the fact that there is at least three days between exams in the schedule, divide the amount of preparation by these three days, including the last day, it is advisable to leave it for repetition and understanding the material of the discipline.

Regularly attend classes, do not be shy to ask if something is not clear, independently perform the assigned work, actively participate in the scientific and social life of the university.

In addition, it is important to understand that studying at a university is a new level of independence and self-organization, and the knowledge gained is the basis of future professional demand.

The first session of a first-year student is one of the most important and difficult tests.

Of course, this is stress, fear of something new, not experienced yet. But you need to remember two things: firstly, you are not the first, you are not the last, and secondly, the grade obtained in the exam is just a convention. There is more than one session ahead, and everything can change.

The main thing is not to stop, not to relax, not to give up and confidently go towards the goal.

One of the effective methods of preparing for the exam is writing mini-summaries reflecting the logic of presenting the material of the question.

As a rule, any examination question is revealed in the following sequence:
1. Name (in the form of a concept, rule) of an object (process);
2. List of features of the object (process);
3. Actions with the object or justification of the sequence of operations of the process.

According to such a structured mini-outline, it is easy to build a verbal answer.

Trade and Economic Institute of the Siberian Federal University

A freshman who has missed a certain number of classes and is worried that he will not cope with the session and will not justify the hopes of his personal and his parents must definitely overcome fear.

To do this, you must definitely try to pass tests and exams. Experienced students know: 80% of passing the exam is to pass it. If it doesn’t work out right away, then you will have to get to know the subject better, learn it and pass it. From experience I know that almost any subject is mastered in a week.

All correct answers must be sought in the primary sources, although this is not obvious to those who have passed the Unified State Examination in social studies. But now you have a GUARANTOR in which the sources are reliable. He always helps me and you can handle it.

“From session to session, students live happily”, and during the session they usually “survive”.

Here are a few life hacks that can help you get through your first session.
First, don't skip class. Passing an exam to a "stranger" is more difficult.
Secondly, you may receive an additional question that will decide whether you go home with or without a tail. Often questions are repeated to form a list of them, use the knowledge of undergraduates.
Third, read more. My colleague told me that he gave a weak student a positive mark after he started quoting Machiavelli.

The main "life hack" for the first session - LEARN the subject!

1. Start preparing early. Work through the material covered, prepare information on the list of questions for exams.
2. Be sure to write (namely write) cheat sheets for all exam questions
3. Reread cheat sheets
4. On the eve of the exam, do not sit until the morning with textbooks, go to bed no later than 24-05.
5. If you are not sure about the effectiveness of the previous recommendations, at exactly 24-00 on the eve of the exam, catch the “freebie”, for which, stretch your hand from the open record book into the open window, shout “Catch the freebie” through the window, quickly close the record book and do not open it , otherwise "Freebie will fly away."
6. Go to bed.
7. Go to the exam in the morning with a fresh head

Good luck on your exam!

Tune yourself to the "right wave".

First, you must initially understand that training is not for the sake of evaluation, but for the accumulated knowledge, skills and abilities.
Secondly, focusing on those disciplines that are more difficult for you will save time, which can be used within the framework of your interests and capabilities.
It should be noted that the active position of the student during the academic semester, the timely completion of individual and test papers, essays, etc., will positively affect the objective assessment and opinion of the teacher himself and will positively affect the passing of the exam or test.

And in conclusion, I would like to recall the words of the great commander Alexander Suvorov: "It's hard in learning - it's easy in battle!" Remember this and then you will not be afraid of any difficulties of the sessions.

At first, it is quite difficult for first-year students to join not only the new team, but also the electronic educational environment of the university, since the requirements of higher education differ significantly from the school curriculum.

The best option for a student's behavior should be considered the ability to use electronic library resources, the assimilation of information technology for searching information on the Internet, as well as the ability to use the leading reference and legal system GARANT.

In my opinion, it is this approach that will reduce the time for conscientious preparation for exams and pass the first session without any problems.

Be confident in yourself (not to be confused with impudence!) and speak what you know on the exam. There is such a wonderful anecdote that I always tell students: “A student-biologist learned only one question for the exam - about fleas, and he got a question about fish. So he began: “Fish are creatures that do not have fleas, but fleas! ... "and then - everything about fleas."

Therefore, you should never be silent in an exam or say: “I don’t know.” You still know something, so talk about it!

The first session determines the success of further studies.

It is important to immediately learn how to combine efforts and distribute tasks within the group - together everything is easier and more interesting.

It is necessary to assess the strength and plan self-training, because each subject has a different complexity. The best preparation is active work during the semester with the receipt of "self-tests" and "self-examinations", then the session turns into a pleasant vacation.

LUKASHEVICH Svetlana Vladimirovna

Ulyanovsk State Pedagogical University. I. N. Ulyanova

In order for the first session to be successful, I recommend that the guys strive for the whole semester to study only “good” and “excellent”. And for this, first of all, find your own comfortable learning style: determine when it is better to do homework, how to record lectures, how to prepare for exams.

It is useful to immediately start participating in conferences, business games and competitions.

The very first professional skill that future lawyers should master is the use of legal reference systems.

MANUKOVSKY Roman Igorevich

Stress resistance, general attitude is important. Experiences can interfere with concentration, thinking.

Pay close attention to planning your work day. Sleep should not be less than 7-8 hours. Do not waste time on social networks, watching videos about cats, photos, music.

Consistency is important - indicate the dates for passing tests and exams in the calendar, write down your preparation plan for each day in the calendar.

Try to keep the place for preparing for exams warm, bright, quiet.

PALCHIKOVA Maria Valerievna
K. yu. PhD, Associate Professor of the Department of State and Legal Disciplines

The most important advice - first, you should calm down. Do not relax and stop worrying (especially before the first session it is almost impossible), but just calm down.

The teacher does not have the task of preventing students from taking the exam or failing to pass a test. Teachers, as well as students, tried the whole semester, trying to help yesterday's schoolchildren learn to perceive and understand already adult information, which will certainly become the foundation for further knowledge and profession. And the feedback that we receive at the control points - tests, tests, exams is very important.

Therefore, the student should carefully read the lectures again, refresh the memory of the topics discussed at the seminars, look at the legislation again (just in the GARANT system) and honestly answer the question - what topic did I not understand or could not learn? To disassemble it and at the same time they are not afraid to approach teachers with additional questions. We will be happy to tell and explain, help to find additional sources.

Calmness is based on knowledge and confidence in the chosen path.

In order to pass the first session without worries and with positive marks, you need to try during the entire first semester to form a positive image of yourself among the leading teachers by working in seminars.

To survive the first session, you must:

• Firstly, to get rid of the psychology of a schoolboy and do not hope that they will not be asked. They will ask!!!
• Secondly, do not rely on "maybe". Teach!!!
• Third, believe in yourself! You can do everything!!!

To successfully pass the session, you can advise:

• prepare for the exam (test) in advance in writing: the result will be a summary of all questions, respectively, you read them, understood and wrote them down in an abbreviated form - which means you know the answers to all questions; in short - write cheat sheets, but YOURSELF;
• the night before the exam (test) you need to sleep: a sleepy, ignorant student is a strong irritant for the teacher;
• the appearance of a student who came to the exam (test) should correspond to the situation: the business style creates a positive image for the teacher and you don’t want to put a “deuce” to such a “dunno”;
• and the last thing: believe in yourself and in YOUR LUCK, then you will definitely get a lucky ticket.

Lucky for those who are lucky, and there are no freebies in exams (tests), so it makes no sense to call her ....

For a first-year student, a competent approach in preparing for the exam is important.

I propose a proven methodology: you should distribute the number of questions for the exam by the number of days of preparation so that one day remains to repeat all the material. For example, 90 questions for the exam for 4 days: 20–25 questions per day and 1 day for repetition.

At the same time, it is important to observe the daily routine, that is, it is advisable to prepare for the exam in the afternoon. After 18-00 on the day before the exam, you need to rest.

How to pass the first session?
1. "Study, study and study again!"
2. Remember that the teacher was also once a student (this is if you use cheat sheets)!
3. Evaluation is not the main thing, but do not underestimate your bar!
4. This session is not your last. Everything is ahead of you!

The company "Garant" and the student portal site thanks all the teachers who shared their tips and recommendations with first-year students.

Nesterov A.K. How to pass the session // Encyclopedia of the Nesterovs

The winter examination session is a hard time for all Russian students. The session is especially tense, as always, for freshmen. For them, the winter session is the first in their lives. In the article I will analyze 7 great tips on how to pass the session.

Will I rent a session is a question that worries every student, especially first-year students. After each session, in every university there are a dozen or two guys and girls who are discouraged by their results in exams.

Why does this happen at all? This also applies to top performers. It often happens that at school I was an excellent student, I passed the exams without much effort, and at the first session at the university I failed at the exam and not even at one, a couple of failures ... And how to live now? ..

In 9 cases out of 10, it’s not the lack of abilities that is to blame, but the wrong approach to organizing one’s work. Yes, preparing for exams is hard work.

I will give you 7 great tips how to pass a session.

1. Don't waste time

So it has come session, and students take an exam How to rationally approach your time?

Difficulties for students arise because the organization of the educational process in universities is significantly different from the approach that was at school. There are no daily homework assignments, intermediate control of assignments is carried out in the form of seminars, laboratory, etc., but they do not take place every day and not always regularly throughout the semester.

Therefore, students must organize their own time and study. You need to plan the time when to study, when to relax - this is difficult and not easy for everyone.

The result of insufficient organization of your time: night vigils during the session, hassle with "tails", nervous tension. All this reduces mental performance and only complicates the session.

In general, preparation for exams and the educational process in itself at the university are incompatible with the assault.

The granite of science must be gnawed with the teeth, and not attempted to smash it with the forehead.

Of course, you can read a textbook or lecture notes in a day, but you won’t be able to master it, since a tired brain does not perceive the material well. Before the exam, you will look like a sleepwalker.

The brain is the main organ of the nervous system. Nerve cells do not have unlimited capacity. Therefore, an attempt to increase it by nightly vigils before exams will backfire.

Considering that it still happens that at the session you need to pass, or even more than one, it is obvious that the load is very large.

What to do?

The only sure way is to systematically work with educational materials every day during the semester.

If it would be normal for the human body and brain to master a training course within 2-3 days, then everyone would receive education in 3-4 months. In practice, a semester is allotted for this.

To pass the session- You need to prepare for the exams in advance.

First Moscow State Medical University. THEM. Sechenova repeatedly conducts research on the problems of the educational process, and based on their results they publish recommendations on the organization of students' work, how to simplify your life and pass the session without triples.

To improve the efficiency of using your time when studying, you need to:

• Train memory, attention, willpower.
• Think over the daily routine: sleep 8 hours, eat 3-4 times a day, at the same time, be outdoors for at least 2 hours daily, at least 20 minutes of them before bedtime. Generally good for learning.
• Cherish your time. How students steal their time: social networks, videos, level 80 elves, etc. In addition to wasting time, in the constant “twitching” mode, it is more difficult for the brain to absorb information from a textbook or a course of lectures. And at first 1.5-2 hours disappeared, then another two hours and plus a square head from the flow of information mixed up. Organize your time according to your priorities.
• Take lecture notes. Taking notes for the teacher, you will learn the lecture material much better than just listening. Then it will be enough to review the notes to refresh the material of the lecture. Rewriting someone else's abstract is much less effective: first you need to spend time rewriting, then analyzing the lecture material, as it will be perceived as completely new and unfamiliar.
• Control yourself. There is less control at the university than at school, but this does not mean that you can look at pictures on social networks or chat on the phone during lectures. After all, a strong person has willpower. Are you a strong person? Or do you want to become a weak-willed loser?

2. Take lecture notes

In no case do not have fun at the lectures! There is free time for this.

It is also necessary to keep an outline correctly.

1. Mechanically fixing the teacher's lecture is not worth it, there is little benefit from this. Try to write in your own words, quickly, clearly and immediately white.
2. Use conventions: generally accepted abbreviations invented for a particular discipline and abbreviations. Just do not forget to write them down somewhere with decoding. Examples: CNS - central nervous system, ACS - automated control system - grows, ↓ - falls, etc.
3. Recording the main point of the lecture helps to focus attention. When taking notes, hearing, sight, and hand are involved. This means that different types of memory are mobilized and trained. By recording lectures, you not only learn the subject, but also increase mental performance. In turn, this will help in preparing for exams and passing the session.
4. Reviewing the textbook is also helpful. A person remembers the read text better if he makes notes in parallel with reading.
5. Abstracts. Accustom yourself to write down material in the form of simple and complex theses. A simple thesis is complete sentences, formulations of the author's thought, i.e. comprehension of the material read in the textbook. A complex thesis is logical conclusions, inferences and an analysis of cause-and-effect relationships. Such work requires serious reflection on the text and therefore contributes to a more solid assimilation of the material.

Approximately half of the time for preparing for the session, which the student has, is used to master the course program as part of independent work.

Then the problems of how to pass the session for the student no longer arise.

You need to spend about 4 hours a day working with study guides and lecture notes. On Saturday and Sunday there is less time, or even exclude them from the training schedule of their own work. Sunday is best to devote to rest, walking, cinema, theater, sports training or outdoor games, skiing in winter, skating rink.

3. There is no hope for the last day

Leaving everything for the last day is a disastrous business.

Here the logic is simple. You need to prepare in advance, then there will be no problem how to pass the session.

Monotonous work tires faster than varied work, so on the last day before the exam, when you try to learn everything, you get tired very quickly. Again, remember that the performance of the brain is not unlimited.

In order for self-study to be productive, it is necessary to plan them rationally. Taking into account the fact that the brain gets tired of monotonous work, use the recommended 4 hours a day to prepare in two or three disciplines.

It will not be superfluous to repeat the obvious fact. You won't be able to do everything on the last day before the exam.

4. Different subjects need a different approach

Subjects that require memorization, such as a foreign language, need to be given attention every day. It is more profitable to work with such items for half an hour each, than once a week for three hours.

Fractional portions of the material and frequent repetitions contribute to more effective memorization, allowing better use of the physiological characteristics of memory.

Disciplines, the material of which requires reflection, analysis, comprehension, calculations, should be given 1-1.5 hours or more. The productivity of mental labor is not the same: at first it increases, the so-called period of development, then a maximum is reached, then the efficiency drops. During the period of development, a person is drawn into work gradually, and the period of maximum efficiency is the most productive period of mental labor, then the most stable working capacity takes place. This period can last from two to four hours without a break.

Productive mental work contributes to the effective assimilation of educational material, analytical work and calculations.

5. Conditions of employment

To accelerate the onset of a state of stable performance, it is necessary to suppress extraneous stimuli affecting the brain, it is even better to remove oneself from them.

1. Do not chat on the phone and in the messenger.
2. Don't look at the TV screen.
3. Do not look at social networks (even "just look for a couple of seconds")!
4. Do not look at online stores either!
5. The level 80 paladin will wait, and the tanks will wait too.
6. Don't think about anything else.
7. No distractions.

The concentration of attention is facilitated by the familiar atmosphere of classes, the start of work at the same time.

If there are no suitable conditions at home or in a hostel, study in the library, in the reading room. Rest at home. Walking to the library and back is a great opportunity to get some fresh air.

The brain is very sensitive to a lack of oxygen, and a sitting position limits its flow to the lungs. If a person sits for a long time, blood stagnates in the lower parts of the lungs, abdominal organs and legs, which also reduces the efficiency of the body, primarily the brain.

Every hour, take a break for 5 minutes: get up, walk around, warm up, do some simple exercises to stretch your muscles. It will be just wonderful if you open the window for this time! Worked out in total 4 hours - a break for 1 hour. Forward to fresh air!

An important point is the lighting of the workplace. Most often, independent work of students occurs in the evening. If the workplace is not sufficiently or unevenly lit, then the eyes will quickly get tired, which will cause a feeling of general fatigue, headache. The hygienic norm of illumination of the desktop is provided by one light bulb of 40-60 W, covered with a plafond or a lampshade. The location of the light source should be on the left side of the desk. It is better not to neglect these rules - vision must be protected.

6. Work plan

The conditions of the classes also include the planning of work for the semester. This is how you develop willpower and organization.

How to compose semester work plan:

1. Take a calendar with the ability to make short notes in it (the cells should be large enough). You can also make a calendar on your computer.
2. In the cells, mark the disciplines that you will be engaged in. Do this by analogy with how the class schedule is compiled at the university. Use even and odd weeks for convenience.
3. As you complete the planned work, make notes about successfully completed tasks in the calendar.
4. At the end of the week, you control yourself - you did everything or not. At the end of the month, the same.
5. If possible, set yourself small rewards for completing weekly plans: going to the cinema, going to a cafe, in general, give yourself something that makes your soul happy.

As an alternative, you can start a diary with an organizer in which you write down what you did every day. Comparing with the planned work, you will be able to objectively evaluate your performance.

It doesn’t matter if the plan then needs to be adjusted, it’s all the same to you it will help a lot to pass the session.

7. Rational behavior during the session

To successfully pass the session, you need to slightly rebuild your mode:

• You still need to sleep 8 or at least 7 hours.
• Distribute the working periods for the whole day in this way: from breakfast to lunch, from lunch to dinner, from dinner to sleep. Each period is approximately 3-4 hours. Finish each work period with a short walk in the fresh air.
• You can not stay up late, trying to cheer up with strong coffee or tea. From this, efficiency quickly falls, and sleep is disturbed from night vigils. As a result, your productivity will tend to zero.

Schematically, the mode is shown in the figure. At the same time, take into account a small margin for breaks. Thus, in three working periods you will have time to prepare for the session.

On the day of the exam, you do not need to come to the university too early. Firstly, you will not be able to replenish your knowledge a few hours before the exam. Secondly, during this time you will simply get tired and nervous. Thirdly, when it's your turn to take an exam, how physical and mental strain will inevitably affect the answer. Better use those same few hours for sleep or study at home before the exam. Come to the university with a small margin of time.

And a couple of words about coffee. Strong coffee invigorates well, but during the session it is better to limit its consumption, since the stimulating effect on the brain has the opposite effect when consumed during prolonged mental stress. Drink no more than 1 to 2 cups of coffee per day in the morning.

Conclusion

Although exams are a significant waste of energy and nerves, you cannot do without them.

The session is not only a test of knowledge and ability to work independently.

During the time of study at the university, a student takes several dozen exams and tests - the same number of times he prepares an answer, coherently presents the material, answers the questions of the examiner. Together, all this instills the art of self-control, teaches you to think rationally, trains speech - these are the qualities necessary for any qualified specialist.

I hope the tips on how to pass the session will help you in this difficult task.
