[QUOTE="Dheepa, post: 77020, member: 1572"] Hello! I'm sure many of us on the forum do relate! I remember feeling the exact same at the end of second year and even more so at the end of third year (because that's when covid hit and there was all kinds of uncertainty regarding exam and vacs) I think for take home exams it matters less that you remember the information and more that you have all your notes, revision guides etc in order. Obviously I have no idea if your exams are open book, but if they are, then I'd suggest mapping out all the different elements that make up each key topic and that'll give you an idea of where to refer to and find information that you need for the exam. With regards to staying motivated, motivation is a pretty fleeting thing, and I don't think anyone can stay consistently motivated for an extended period of time. Personally, I think you just need to be disciplined, even when the last thing you want to do is study. For me what's always worked is making a study schedule and being realistic about my study time. So I know that realistically after about 9pm, no information I try to study actually gets retained so thats when I stop, and give myself the rest of the day off. I think you just need to figure out what works and doesn't work for you in a similar way. But at the same time don't be too hard on yourself if you do have days where you get nothing done, because that happens to the best of us. [/QUOTE]
