The Science of Memory

The unfamiliarity of the example setting can often unsettle us, making us feel more nervous. Think about whether you can find an environment to study in that feels a little bit like an example. You're probably looking for a slightly larger space with a silent but studious atmosphere and lots of other people around you working quietly. Maybe your college or university has such a space, or perhaps there's a library in your town with a reading room that fits the bill. If you can get in at least some practice there, you'll start getting used to exam conditions in your practice and you'll find it easier to succeed on exam day.
