Your body is already exhausted, so long study periods are usually less effective, and you\u2019ll only retain very little from what you have studied. Focus on reviewing material you already know rather than learning new content. Sleep and eating well are more important now than any last-minute cramming. Otherwise, you\u2019ll end up feeling even worse on exam day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From a psychological perspective, it can help to remind yourself that withdrawing from an exam is not failure, but self-care.
