Many people overestimate the effect that studying has on exam performance and underestimate fueling your body properly. In reality, understanding the mind-body connection is crucial to success with the level of competition present in modern American universities. If you don’t do this because it’s ‘unhealthy’ or ‘makes you feel sick’, that’s fine. But I can guarantee your competitors are following this method, especially the high-achieving international students you’ll be competing with to get into law/med/grad school.
1. Start smoking cigarettes - this is especially essential if you never smoke cigarettes. Ideally do all studying outside with a cigarette in hand for efficiency’s sake. If it rains, snows, or hails use your textbook or laptop to shield the cigarette from harm, lest it get put out
2. Cut out all animal protein, especially red meat. Steadily implement a diet of nothing but bread, rice, and fried eggs
3. Turkish coffee every 3 hours to clear the gut flora of bacteria that causes self-doubt, sluggishness, and complacency. In truth, this should be done year-round if you have the time and money. Don’t expect anyone else to tell you the truth, but you‘re already behind if you just started now
4. Daily prescription stimulants of choice
5. Limit showering to protect your natural aroma that will subconsciously inspire professors to grade your exam more favorably
6. Masturbate several times the night before the exam to increase mental clarity and limit distractions. No Fap is a Russian psyop to lower the Chechen-American birthrate
7. Scale down blacking out from alcohol to once a week. If your studying schedule allows for it, pencil in the blackout for the eve of the exam. It will disrupt your REM sleep, helping you wake up earlier, in turn providing you extra time for studying. Vomiting before or during the exam will decrease cortisol levels
