Congratulations on Finishing Your End-of-Year Examinations! What's Next?

Written By Scholarly’s Editorial Minion, Rashini D Selvasegaran

The team at Scholarly would like to congratulate you on reaching the end of your examinations! All of your hustling, late-night study revisions and persistence have paid off.

Now that exams are over, what's next?

Here are a few things you can do to make the most of your post-exam period:

1. Catch Up on Sleep

Students sacrifice quality sleep to cram in extra hours of studying past midnight. Now that they're over, it's time to restore your body's natural rhythm. Proper rest helps improve your mood and cognitive function, which is crucial after a stressful period. Make sure to get at least 8 hours of sleep—you deserve it!

2. Pick Up a New Hobby

Now that you have plenty of free time, it's the perfect opportunity to explore new interests! Pick up that instrument you have meant to learn or start something you have been putting aside for the longest time. Not only will this keep your mind active, but it'll also give you a new sense of purpose during the holidays.

3. Exercise and Stay Active

Physical activities are a great way to de-stress. Exercising helps release endorphins, improving your mood and energy levels. Invite your friends for a fun sports session, or join a new fitness class for a refreshing change!

4. Spend Quality Time with Family and Friends

During exam season, students often sacrifice socialising for extra study sessions. Use this time to plan a social outing with your friends and family!

5. Prepare For The Next Academic Year

It's also a good idea to start thinking about the year ahead during your break. Take some time to reflect on your academic performance and identify areas you may want to improve. If you're going to get a headstart before the next academic year, signing up for tuition classes is a great way to prepare for your upcoming syllabi.

You have done a fantastic job getting through this year, so pat yourselves on the back! Remember to celebrate your achievements and take this time to recharge. You've earned it!
