chew a bubble gum during your exams, it should relax you
well, now try to manage your time.... read the whole paper and don't be snappy
read each question to decide how much you will have to spend in each one, now finished
try some Duaa's and you'll keep calm ISA
now you can start your exam, don't try to look at any body.. you'll get more nervous!
if any question you don't know skip it but leave a mark so you can return to the question once finished...
don't be overconfident once finished, revise once, twice, or more if there is enough time
when you finish your exam don't discuss with anyone because if any thing is wrong, you will be depressed and this will affect your upcoming exams
Hope that helped you ahmed !

How Chewing Gum Can Improve Your CFA Exam Performance

CFA Results Analysis, or alternatively have a look through our past posts.

However, here's a recent tip that our team discovered: chewing gum while studying for your CFA exam, and during the exam itself, will help with your performance.

We're not talking "chew gum and you'll not need to study ever" levels of performance improvement, by the way. But it helps - kind of like shark-skin suits for Olympic swimmers. Every little helps, and chewing gum seems to.

Here's our findings, and how you can utilise this information for your CFA studies.

Chewing makes your memory more awesome
A team of UK psychologists have recently discovered that people who chewed throughout tests of both long-term and short-term memory produced significantly better scores than people who did not. The results provide the first ever evidence that chewing activity improves both long-term and working memory - but it's not clear exactly how it works.

Chewing activates your brain and delivers more oxygen
A possible explanation for this is that chewing increases activity in parts of your brain related to memory. Japanese researchers have shown that brain activity in the hippocampus, an area important for memory, increases while people chew. Chewing also increases your heart rate, and therefore increases oxygen delivery to your brain, enhancing its overall performance.

Chewing also improves concentration
Chewing gum has also been discovered to help you stay focused for longer on tasks that require continuous monitoring.

The study by Cardiff University involved 38 participants being split in to two groups. Both groups completed a 30 minute audio task that involved listening to a list of numbers from 1-9 being read out in a random manner. Participants were scored on how accurately and quickly they were able to detect a sequence of odd-even-odd numbers, such as 7-2-1. Participants also completed questionnaires on their mood both before and after the task.

The results showed that participants who chewed gum had quicker reaction times and more accurate results than the participants who didn’t chew gum. This was especially the case towards the latter parts of the task.

Interestingly participants who didn’t chew gum performed slightly better at the beginning of the task but were overtaken by the end. This suggests that chewing gum helps us focus on tasks that require continuous monitoring over a longer amount of time.

Even if this is true, we are not allowed to chew gums during examinations.
