Keep Calm And Stay Focused—Expert Study Tips For Civil Service Exam Students

As the world fights the Coronavirus pandemic, over 180 countries have implemented nationwide closures, impacting nearly 97% of students globally. During these unprecedented times, it’s crucial that students remain positive and focused.

With students homebound for weeks at a time, either by themselves or quarantined with their partners or families, study preparations for the civil service exams will need an adjustment to allow you to fully focus.
Here are some easy-to-follow study tips for staying on task and managing the COVID-19 stress while still achieving your academic goals:

Make a plan

Planning is one of the best stress management techniques that can help you stay on track of your academic work. Before you start studying, make a note of all the resource documents and information you’ll need; this includes the exam dates, guidelines, quizzes, practice questions, online classes schedules etc. Plug the important dates into a calendar, and then break each week into a study schedule that covers all the sections of the exams.
Make sure you don’t leave studying for the 11th hour; the two days before the exam date should ideally be reserved for revision and practice tests.

Create a secluded study area

You need to mark out a dedicated study area. If you already have a study desk in your room, that’s a great start. You can even do a little Marie Kondo-style decluttering to make room for your books, computer and study tools. If you’re temporarily sharing counter or table space with someone else at home, place physical objects around the area that will motivate you to study.
Above all, make sure you have a set study plan, and push yourself to follow it.

Keep socializing

Though you may miss attending physical classes and socializing in person, reaching out to the staff and students can help you maintain a sense of community. Posting on discussion boards, joining online study groups and reading other students’ posts can minimize the feeling of loneliness and help you realize that other students are going through the same thing. You can even set up informal discussions via FaceTime or Skype.
It’s normal to feel sad, anxious, angry and confused during these trying times; staying organized, safe socializing and practice tests are all ways that can help you ride through the pandemic. You’ve got this!
