Toppr: Pre-Exam Checklist: Things to Avoid the Night Before an Exam

Cramming

Last-minute cramming can overload your brain and increase stress. Review key concepts instead.

Staying Up Too Late

Lack of sleep impairs cognitive function and memory recall. Aim for 7-8 hours of rest.

Overloading on Caffeine

Excessive caffeine disrupts sleep. Avoid overindulging in coffee, energy drinks, or sodas.

Eating Heavy or Junk Foods

Stick to a balanced, light meal to prevent stomach discomfort. Avoid new foods.

Engaging in Stressful Activities

Avoid stress and engage in relaxing activities like reading or taking a warm bath.

Ignoring Relaxation Techniques
