At Release SCE, we understand that focus, clarity, and memory retention are crucial for peak performance. That’s why we’ve put together a detailed plan to help you prepare effectively while incorporating our neuro-support products to keep your mind sharp and stress levels in check.
Step 1: Build Your Exam Prep Plan
1. Organise Your Study Material
Before diving into studying, get everything in order:
List all your subjects – Identify which topics need more attention.
Gather notes and past papers – Use previous exam papers to understand the format and frequently tested topics.
Create a study schedule – Allocate time for each subject, leaving space for revision.
2. Set SMART Study Goals
Your goals should be Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound. Instead of saying, "I’ll study maths today," be precise:
“I’ll complete five algebra problems and review my notes for 45 minutes.”
“I’ll revise one chapter of history and summarise key points in 30 minutes.”
Step 2: Study Smarter, Not Harder
1. Use Active Learning Techniques
Passive reading isn’t enough. Engage with the material using:
Flashcards – Great for quick recall of formulas, vocabulary, and key facts.
Mind Maps – Visualise connections between topics.
Teaching Someone Else – If you can explain it, you understand it.
2. Manage Study Breaks Efficiently
The brain works best with focused study sessions followed by short breaks. Try the Pomodoro Technique:
Study for 25-50 minutes
Take a 5-10 minute break
Repeat the cycle
During breaks, stretch, hydrate, or do a breathing exercise to stay refreshed.
Step 3: Optimise Your Routine for Peak Performance
1. Prioritise Sleep for Better Memory
Sleep is crucial for memory consolidation. Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night.
Stick to a consistent sleep schedule.
Avoid screens before bed to prevent blue-light exposure.
Use relaxation techniques to ease into sleep.
2. Fuel Your Brain with the Right Nutrition
Your brain needs the right fuel to function optimally:
Use Release SCE twice daily: 2 x Forte capsules in the evening and 1 x Advance capsule in the morning. (For ages 12 and younger: 5ml syrup at night and 5ml syrup in the morning).
Follow a protein rich diet: A protein-rich diet supports brain function, boosts focus and energy, and helps reduce stress during exams.
Hydration: Staying hydrated improves concentration, memory, and overall brain function, making water essential during exams.
Step 4: Exam Day Strategy
1. Start the Day Right
On exam day, stick to your usual morning routine:
Eat a balanced breakfast with protein, healthy fats, and slow-releasing carbs.
Hydrate well to keep your brain alert.
Take your Release SCE to ensure mental clarity and focus.
2. Stay Calm & Confident During the Exam
Read all questions carefully before answering.
Tackle easier questions first to build confidence.
Manage your time wisely – Keep an eye on the clock and pace yourself.
Use breathing techniques to stay calm under pressure.
