What do you guys do for stress relief while prepping for the exam? I’m studying for my second exam, AUD, but I’ve been getting completely overwhelmed lately. I’ve been studying for 3 weeks and I still feel like I’m lost on several topics.. I’m ranging anywhere from 55-75%. I know “Rome wasn’t built in a day” but it’s demoralizing, especially since I failed the only exam I’ve taken so far and I don’t have a job.

When you guys are pounding out MCQs, SIMs, flashcards, or whatever it may be, what do you do to keep yourself from not getting overwhelmed?

Passed all sections.

Daily walks or light running were absolutely essential during my studies!

I've determined early in my studies (total months took to study and pass = 8) that if I did not get fresh air for more than 2 days in the row, I could not get fast enough or accurate enough on MCQ. There were times that I had to walk in dark late evenings circling in my neighborhood just to get out and get blood going and stress relived. Also, eating clean helps but I could not follow much of that during the last two sections.

My plan so far:

1) Set up a playlist of relaxing music and have it running constantly

2) Work out every other day for 1 to 2 hours

3) I study in my room. When I get tired, I just go to sleep, but before that, I have something hard to remember and try to remember it. After you wake up, see if you can write it down. Compare.

4) Candy! Tea! Coffee! Munchies!

FAR - 62 (10/2/13), 50 (5/30/14)
AUD - 73 (10/30/13), 66 (5/6/14)
REG - 69 (4/8/14)
BEC - 66 (2/27/13), 73 (4/21/14)
