Q: Going for a run, doing some jumping-jacks, and lifting weights all help relieve stress by releasing endorphins—brain chemicals that elevate mood, beef up our body's immune systems, and ease feelings of physical pain. Exercise also allows us to feel like we are in control of our situation, even though we may not be in control of things that cause us stress. Eating the right foods can not only make us feel good and satisfied, but can also help elevate our moods. When we are stressed our bodies secrete hormones that affect mood. Foods that contain vitamin B and folic acid help fight stress as those minerals are needed for the production of serotonin—our brain's happy chemical. Try eating some of the following superfoods for a little mood boost:  Blueberries are high in vitamin C—a major stress-fighter. Try them in a smoothie, on top of some granola, or even on their own. Gnawing on some raw almonds may help get some aggression out. They are also a rich source of vitamin B2 and E, which, like vitamin C has been shown to fight free radicals associated both with stress and disease. Asparagus is high in both vitamin B and folic acid. This high-fiber green is great in salads and pastas, and makes a great side dish simply steamed with a squeeze of lemon and dash of salt. Dehydration can cause your body to function less productively, and it can increase the possibility of anxiety or even panic attacks. Consume 9-13 cups of fluids per day. Some of this fluid can be attained from fruits and vegetables with high water content. Your body needs time to restore itself and to allow muscles to fully relax. Getting enough sleep every night will fend off stress that leads to jangled nerves. Try for 7-8 hours of sleep every night. If you have trouble getting to sleep, try taking a warm bath before bed or listening to some calming music.
A: Get some exercise. Eat nutrient-rich foods. Drink plenty of water. Get enough rest.

Q: . Time management is key to studying for a test or tests. If you plan out your time, you'll feel less rushed and hurried. You'd be able to avoid a Sunday night, 3 AM cram session. Plan out the week before the test to use your time most effectively.  Analyse how many things you have to study and try to calculate how much you have to study each day/week to cover everything. You can quickly test  how long it takes you study one page and calculate the amount of time you need to study everything afterwards. Try to study over the course of a week, not just one night. Revisiting the information moves it from short-term memory (the kind that disappears almost immediately) to long-term memory, where you can retrieve it for later. Ideally, take a look at the content a little bit every day. If you start on top of things, you'll never have to worry about catching up. Read the textbook assignments, do the homework, and go to class. The studying you do on your own time will then be that much easier.  Organize a notebook and folder for the class. Keep all your papers together when you need to pull them out three months later. Keep your syllabus accessible to use it as a rough outline for the class. Don't forget to keep up the studying on a daily basis, don't leave it for the last minute! what things she/he want you to study. Remember, any little detail on a test can become a question! . Alright, so we already covered how you should sleep instead of changing your normal routine to wake up early to study because it can ruin your REM cycles. Get as close to 8 hours as possible. Your grades (and parents) will thank you for it. Before you go to bed , hit the hardest concepts. Then when you do hit the hay, your brain has hours and hours to let it sink in. The fluff can be tackled mid-afternoon -- let the difficult stuff stew overnight for maximum retention. . Studies show that students who eat breakfast before a test do better consistently. But you want to keep it to something light and healthy -- focusing on that lump of eggs, bacon, and cheese in your stomach won't do you any favors. Stick to fruits, veggies, whole grains, and light dairy products. In fact, research says that your diet the week before the test matters, too! Students that were placed on a high-fat, high-carb diet did worse than those loading up on fruits, veggies, and complex, whole grains. Do yourself, your body, and your mind a favor by eating right. By eating right, you can get the right nutrients that your body needs, and you will be able to retain information better. . Studying the night before the test will make it even more difficult -- you'll be sleep deprived, groggy, and your mind will not be firing on all pistons. You don't want to gather heaps of information in one night; it's impossible to absorb that much info at once. Straight up, you'll do worse. If you don't see the logic, believe the science. Studies show that late-night crammers get average grades. If you're looking for a C, cram away. But if you're looking for something a bit better, avoid it. In the morning, your mind is fresh and clear. Though you wouldn't think it works this way (so simple!), your mind seems to have more room to absorb information right when you wake up. At night, your brain secretes chemicals to cement the information into your memory, so studying right before bed (and when you wake up) is a safe bet. When you know the patterns of your brain, you can take advantage of them! Research shows that the closer the information is taken in relative to sleep, the more it'll stay in. So review right before bed! What's more, it also shows that getting a good night's rest leads to greater levels of retention. Remember how we said don't cram? There you go.
A:
Make a study schedule Start as soon as possible. Ask your teacher Get some sleep Make time for breakfast Avoid the last minute cram session Study right after waking and just before bed.
