PRESS RELEASE
The
year is coming to an end and many students will be preparing for the
upcoming end of year exams. Although this can be a stressful time,
the right attitude and approach can make all the difference. Morvite
shares some tips on how exercise, food and drink, sleep, proper
time management, and a good attitude and support system can make this
difficult time easier.
Exercise
is not only good for keeping healthy and fit. It also promotes brain
health by increasing the flow of blood to the
brain, as well as improving circulation to the heart and the rest of
the body. Exercise also stimulates the growth of nerve cells in the
part of the brain involved in memory and has additional benefits, such as being a temporary diversion to
stress. "Walking around the
block is a good way to get the blood flowing and help students to
refresh, so set time aside in your studying schedule to get out of
the house,” says Mate Mamabolo, Senior Brand Manager Morvite.
Starting
the day with a healthy breakfast is something to which all students
should be accustomed. This is because breakfast is the most important
meal of the day. Having a wholesome breakfast means you have the best
start to your day, and it is linked to many health benefits like
improved mental ability, heart health and better weight management.
Morvite Instant Porridge is an ideal start to your day as it is
filling, affordable and convenient. Morvite doesn’t require cooking
so you won’t be wasting precious study time in the kitchen. Keeping
hydrated is also very important especially in this warm weather.
Students should remember to drink plenty of water throughout the day
and not only when they are feeling thirsty.
Most
teens need about eight and a half to nine hours of sleep each night. The right amount of sleep is essential for students who
want to do well in their exams. Morvite suggests that to ensure a
good night’s sleep, students should aim to get into a routine of
going to bed around the same time every night, get regular exercise,
and avoid stimulants such as beverages with caffeine after 4pm. They
should try to relax their minds before going to bed, unwind by keeping
the lights low, avoid napping too much or for too long during the
day, and create the right sleeping environment such as playing
peaceful music.
One
of the most important aspects of getting ready for exams is for
students to be able to manage their time effectively. "The best
thing would be to draw up a schedule of study times which also makes
allowance for break time so that you can include socialising with
friends, exercising and other hobbies,” says Mamabolo. Following
this timetable is important. Students should try to keep a systematic
sleeping and eating time also because irregularities can become an
excuse for not studying.
Positive
thinking and a general good attitude also plays a part in coping well
with exams. Students should have goals that they are working to
achieve as this will keep them motivated. Students are likely to do
well and cope better with exams if they have a support system in
place. This will mainly be family, friends and teachers who will know
and value the importance of lending a helping hand in this stressful
time.
Prepare for your final
revision by making summaries for each subject. Try not to speak to
too many other students just before the exam as they may make you
feel nervous. When it comes to the exam, read
the instructions on
the front of the paper carefully and make sure you know how many
questions you should be answering. Read through the whole exam
carefully before you start. Make sure you leave enough time before
the end of the exam for proofreading and sense checking of your
answers. Always, read the question twice to make sure that you
fully understand the answer which is required. Identify the keywords
before you answer the question and highlight these words, even for
multiple choice questions. If you know an answer straight away,
complete it and move to the next one. If a question is a little
challenging, move on to questions that are easier to answer. You can
always go back to complete challenging questions later.
“Most
importantly, don't worry if it feels like you cannot remember your
work, it usually means that you are just feeling a little nervous.
Take a deep breath, trust yourself and focus on the task at hand,”
concludes Mamabolo.
