Maybe concept mapping can help you organize your thoughts while studying for multiple exams at a time!

By limiting your notes to keywords, symbols, and short descriptions, it becomes easier for you to dissect and interpret the most complex of topics, not to mention save energy and time spent rereading entire paragraphs of ideas and concepts.

Exams are a daunting thing to do, much more just talking about them. Panicking while taking it helps none, too. ⚡

So, a vital thing I personally do is to leave time at the end of a test and just check! That's because sometimes, it saves me from my carelessness. ⏰

Here's my tip on checking:

📚 Ready to ace those exams? Dive into these 5 study tips to conquer your preparation game! 💪

1. Eat properly and develop a good sleep hygiene
- Eating regularly and properly is important as nutrition impacts memory, cognitive function, attention, focus, and energy. Good sleep hygiene is also needed because sleep disturbances often result in excessive daytime sleepiness, affecting the overall concentration and cognitive function required to study. Always take care of yourself!

2. Create a study plan
- Doing this allows you to take control of your learning process. Tailor your study plan according to your strengths and weaknesses. Spend more time on the subjects or topics that need more work.

3. Review and practice on past quizzes
- A huge part of acing a test is understanding how your teacher usually designs it. Practicing on previous quizzes or worksheets allows you to do this, helping you become more familiar and confident in answering similar questions!

4. Utilize active recall and spaced repetition
- Active recall involves actively retrieving information from memory, whereas spaced repetition involves spacing out review sessions over time to enhance retention. By integrating these two methods, you can enhance your memory capabilities and prolong information retention. Ways to do this include using flashcards, summarizing, and making visual diagrams to help yourself make connections.

5. Apply the pomodoro technique
- This technique helps you resist self-interruptions, and distractions, and re-train your brain to focus. It uses time-blocking to break your tasks into smaller, more bite-sized pieces. This makes your tasks less intimidating, thereby reducing your stress towards your workload.

We're thrilled with the success of Kapihan sa Diliman: 2nd Sem A.Y. 23-24 Midterm and we want to extend our heartfelt thanks for the unwavering support of UP students towards our program. 📚

Big shoutout to the Kapihan team, UP Diliman Office of the Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs (OVCSA), UP Diliman University Student Council (USC), for their invaluable contributions – this wouldn't have been possible without them.

"We are from UP, of course, walking distance lahat para sa amin!" 👣👣

DID YOU KNOW... ❓
A walk around the Academic Oval, which is approximately 2.2 kilometers long, can burn about 125 calories which is equivalent to a little over half of a cup of white rice. 🤯

Underrated workout? Nah... ❌ Walking is truly a good form of exercise! Here are some benefits of walking:

✅ It increases blood flow to the brain which improves your overall mood. Kapag stressed sa exams, consider walking first bago sumabak sa pagrereview! 📖
✅ It reduces the risk of acquiring diseases such as cancer, hypertension, heart disease, and diabetes. Hindi lang tayo matapang at matalino dito sa UP, healthy din tayo! ♥️💚
✅ By walking regularly, you are less likely to suffer leg or hand fractures because your bones are stronger. 💪

Tara? Lakarin na natin papuntang next class? 🤩🚶🏻‍♀️🚶🏽

Stay hydrated, and stay healthy! 👣

This is it PANCIT!
