Study place, phone-free time, sleep and breaks — Exam preparation tips

Concentration is easier when the setting helps. Study in the same quiet, tidy, bright spot every day — not on the bed or in front of the TV. Keep your phone out of sight, not just on silent. Take short breaks to stretch and drink water. Sleep matters for learning: while you sleep, your brain sorts and stores what you learned, so a regular bedtime beats studying all night.

Study tip

Set the stage — “the right place, no phone, short breaks and enough sleep make focus easy”

  1. Good spot: a clear desk, good light, a quiet corner, the same spot daily, books within reach. Poor: on the bed, TV in view, a dim room, phone face-up nearby.
  2. Helps learning: a regular bedtime, screens off before bed, short breaks to stretch, a full night’s sleep. Hurts: studying all night, scrolling in bed, no break for hours.
  3. Hours of sleep: from bedtime to midnight (12 − bedtime hour) + hours after midnight.

Use it for: Setting up your study corner, planning evenings in exam season and building a bedtime routine.

Worked example: 😴 Saanvi goes to bed at 8:00 PM and wakes up at 6:00 AM. How many hours of sleep is that? → 10

  1. From 8:00 PM to 12:00 AM is 12 − 8 = 4 hours.
  2. Then 6 more hours until 6:00 AM: 4 + 6 = 10 hours.

Check: Try it: set up your study spot, put your phone in another room for one hour and note how much you finish ✓
