You are almost done! You've been revising for weeks (probably years), but your Jamb exam is approaching – in fact, tomorrow. However, your work isn't done yet.

1. Cramming

You read that correctly: cram. You know you want to, so don't be put off by the fact that it sounds bad. Cramming is necessary, believe it or not, but you must approach it differently than you might imagine a 'cramming session.'

Smart cramming does not entail deferring a topic/module until the night before and attempting to absorb the information through osmosis until the wee hours of the morning. Cramming simply means you recognize you only have a few hours to remember this information and you make the best use of that time to ensure you remember what you need to know.

You can cram in a variety of ways, such as going over all of your notes again, talking yourself through the course topic by topic, and so on.

2. A final review of the syllabus

This is the point at which your previous organization takes center stage. If you've been following along with the Jamb recommended syllabus for each of the subject that you want to sit for,you will have a handy checklist to ensure you've covered everything you need to know.

This, on the other hand, can give you one last chance to make sure you don't make a mistake.

I've double-checked the syllabus more times than I'd like to admit and read something completely unfamiliar to me. It's important not to panic if this happens; how you missed it no longer matters and isn't worth worrying about.

Simply prioritize what you have missed during your cramming period and do your best. It will, I assure you, pay off.

3. Do not revise any further.

Please stop revising when your brain feels like it's about to burst. Put the pen down, close the book, and take a step back from your book.

You're almost there, and it's critical that you stop thinking about it to allow that knowledge to sink in.

Reward yourself – the end is approaching, so take a bath, eat some ice cream, or binge watch movie. You truly deserve it, and I always believe that taking some'me time' the day before an exam will benefit you more than those who do not take a moment to breathe.

4. Have a normal night

Following up on the previous point, have a normal evening. Don't waste your time worrying about what will happen the next day.

Take a shower, change into your pyjamas, watch your favorite TV shows, or simply talk to your family at a normal time rather than at your desk.

Exam season, aside from the introduction of revision into your daily routine, should never disrupt your normal routine, and the day before an exam is no exception.

Allow yourself a moment to breathe and act as if it's a normal evening in your life after you've crammed and consciously stopped revising for the day.

5. Make sure you are properly fueled.

This is the oldest piece of advice in the book, but it's true and it works. You'll need to refuel because adrenaline will only get you so far.

As a result, it's critical to eat a healthy, nutritious meal the night before that will fill you up and fuel your brain.

Of course, there are alot  of brain food studies to help you decide what to eat, such as the fact that certain fruits, vegetables, and, in particular, oily fish, aid memory.

A more forward-thinking piece of advice for the night before is to plan what you'll eat for breakfast the next day, especially if you're not used to doing so. Make the most of these few days a year when you eat something before 9 a.m. You don't want to be one of those students who can't concentrate in class because their stomach is grumbling.

Finally, drinking plenty of water before and during your exam will help you stay focused and awake early as you all know that you must get to your exam venue 2hours before your exam.

6. Finishing touches

This section is entirely up to you, and it should be modified to fit how you normally work. Set aside a small amount of time right before you go to sleep to go over your flashcards or go over key words and concepts one last time.

This isn't another panic revision session; however, going to bed after doing so will allow your body to feel physically and mentally prepared for the next day, allowing you to remain calm enough to sleep.

7. Get plenty of rest and go to bed early.

This is the most significant. Even if that is when you work best, you should not work into the night on this revision day. If your eyes are heavy and your mind is wandering from exhaustion, you won't be able to stay awake or focus in an exam.

Get to bed at a reasonable hour, allowing yourself time to relax and get comfortable before falling asleep, however you choose to do so. You should feel refreshed and ready for the day ahead, rather than exhausted and panicked as a result of the lack of sleep.

Good luck!
