Studying is terrible. HOWEVER, if you do it correctly you can benefit immensely! In fact, when people ask us how we met, and how we began our blog we happily reply that it was STUDYING that brought us together! You read that correctly: STUDYING!
After a very challenging lesson, we separately went to the library and opened our textbooks in despair :(. We found each other there, and decided to study together and realized that it actually improved our test scores!
Later that semester, we became closer friends which was both a pro and a con. The con was that we would talk too much and get distracted, but the pro was that we brainstormed the idea to create this wonderful blog... So some advice about studying with friends is that it can be done effectively--as long as you stay ON TASK.
That brings us to our next point:
MINIMIZE DISTRACTIONS!
That means that as soon as you're done reading this blog, commenting on it, and sharing it with your friends, you will stop surfing the internet, watching TV, and get your study plan ready. 
We find it best to begin as early as possible in reading the exam material, even if you are not memorizing every term, you are familiarizing yourself with the text, and absorbing more than you know.
Research show that studying with peers can improve students' understanding of class material. Maybe two-oo-oo is better than one...
Also remember not to let one exam get you down-- we all have our strengths and we know what we have to focus on more...
Our tips especially for you:
- Shut your phone off!
- We believe that you can get more done in half an hour without electronics than in an hour plugged in.
- Work out!
- Don't neglect your body, and remember that exercise promotes learning.
- Give yourself regular breaks!
- You deserve it!
- Listening to music could be beneficial, but be careful not to get distracted. Pnina's personal favorite is white noise.
Don't stress too much, before you know it, it'll all be over! 
Feel free to share your own tricks with us in our comment section!!
Good Luck!!!
