How to manage exam season: don't forget to take regular breaks and breathe

Around Australia, Year 12 students are heading into the final stretch of study before exams start in early term 4.

Key Points: 
  • Around Australia, Year 12 students are heading into the final stretch of study before exams start in early term 4.
  • But, as our research shows, it is also important to rest during this time if you want to maximise your performance.
  • But rest breaks can be beneficial on even shorter time frames, during study sessions and even during exams themselves.

Firstly, try and get some sleep

    • The big risk here is that lack of sleep can do more harm than good.
    • Sleep plays an important role in a range of brain functions, including maintaining attention and consolidating memories.


    For more information about sleep, the Sleep Health Foundation has specific advice for high school students.

You need study breaks

    • When we study, we’re using our working memory (processing of small amounts of information, needed for things like comprehension and problem-solving).
    • Without breaks, over time, these working memory resources become depleted and we notice it’s harder and harder to concentrate.
    • This suggests building in short rest breaks during study can help you learn.

How do you build in breaks?


    Here are some specific strategies to help you get the rests you need:

Also take breaks during exams

    • But just as rest breaks during study can help restore attention, breaks during exams themselves may also be helpful.
    • Breaks are a common part of exams for students with disability provisions, but with some planning, all students might benefit from breaks.
    • A common strategy you can use to prepare for Year 12 exams is to complete past exam papers.
    • These routines can also activate the “relaxation response” – the opposite of the “flight-or-flight” response we experience under stressful conditions (including exams).

Is hot yoga good for you? Exploring the science behind the sweat

Retrieved on: 
Tuesday, June 20, 2023

Hot yoga also known as Bikram yoga (more on that later) has gained significant popularity in recent years as a fairly ferocious form of exercise.

Key Points: 
  • Hot yoga also known as Bikram yoga (more on that later) has gained significant popularity in recent years as a fairly ferocious form of exercise.
  • Practising hot yoga challenges the mind and places additional physiological strain on the body.
  • Indeed, hot yoga can lead to dehydration and dizziness, especially if it’s your first time and you don’t begin the class hydrated.

The origins of hot yoga

    • Originally known as “Bikram yoga”, named after its creator Bikram Choudhury, the traditional style of hot yoga was developed in the early 1970s.
    • Another reason many yoga studios have chosen to move away from the Bikram style of yoga is that multiple women have come forward with accusations of sexual harassment and assault against Choudhury.
    • Even before the Bikram scandal, not everyone in the yoga community backed the idea of hot yoga.

What the science says

    • Although comprehensive scientific reviews are still lacking, some studies have indicated potential health benefits from hot yoga.
    • Modified Bikram yoga performed regularly has been associated with increased aerobic fitness and improved cardiovascular function.
    • Hot yoga has shown promise in terms of heart health, by lowering “bad cholesterol” levels and improving glucose tolerance.
    • It has also been linked to an increase in strength, flexibility and enhanced mental health, including improved stress management and sleep quality.

And the risks?

    • So while it does seem that there are some potential benefits, it’s important to be mindful of the potential risks associated with hot yoga, too.
    • And it’s vital that students listen to their bodies, take breaks when needed and stay hydrated throughout their practice.
    • With hot and humid conditions, on top of excessive sweating, hygiene and cleanliness is also important for you and your mat.

Who is this game for?

    • This game situates itself in the action-adventure genre, but that descriptor only scratches the surface.
    • It offers an unparalleled open world, both in size and detail, and is uniquely able to cater to a huge audience.
    • From the limited game play footage already released, it’s obvious Tears of the Kingdom allows the player to use their critical thinking skills to overcome puzzles their own way.
    • The puzzles around every corner of the kingdom of Hyrule make this game compelling for newcomers and old hands alike.

What is The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom?

    • His task is to save the mythical kingdom of Hyrule by ridding it of the tyrannical overlord Ganon.
    • In the previous game, Link must travel across the kingdom, seeking aid from the diverse species and tribes of the lands to uproot and vanquish Ganon.
    • He can now rewind time, ascend through ceilings, and – most importantly – combine items to create new and exciting weapons or vehicles.

Why was Breath of the Wild such a, well, game-changer?

    • The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild caused genre-defining waves when it was released in 2017, forcing many to rethink what an open world game is.
    • Most open world games at the time featured much more linear narratives, forcing players to experience the world one small area after another.
    • This denies players from the freedom and choice Breath of the Wild relishes in.
    • At its core, Breath of the Wild allows you to do what you want, when you want, without forcing you down a particular path.

What do we know so far about Tears of the Kingdom?

    • Using the new “fuse” ability, you can combine a weapon with items found throughout the game to create new possibilities.
    • The new “ultrahand” feature allows you to combine a huge variety of vehicle components and in-game objects to create vehicles.
    • This allows player to apply knowledge from the real world and the game world to come up with creative solutions.
