I took major exams over 7 years of my life, through high school and University (Cambridge).
Looking back, there were 7 pivotal moments itself which made all the difference when it came to my final grade.
I'm not talking about the studying or the exam prep - these 7 moments are all taken from what happened actually in the exam hall itself.
Learn from my mistakes, borrow from what I did well, and use my experiences to help set YOU for maximum success if and when you face similar challenges on the day of your exam.
Because sometimes, all you need is one more mark to pass.
Here's how to get it :-)

Earlier this year, Ruth Poundwhite (Ep. 97) talked about the "discomfort in resting" that so many high-achievers share.

We'll be exploring why getting real rest can be so challenging, why it's so necessary, and introducing you to a practice that's specially designed to help, called "deep rest".

136. Peps McCrea: Hacking Study Motivation With Psychology
00:38:55
Our "Motivation To Study" series continues this week with an inspiring, fascinating and highly practical conversation with Peps McCrea, who has synthesised the motivation research into 5 drivers.
Where does motivation come from?
And crucially, what can we do to build and nurture it?
1. Secure Success - Why good study strategy boosts motivation - The "break it down" trick - Understanding what success even IS (e.g. sometimes, mistakes, or being stuck are all just part of the process!)
2. Run Routines - Have a good routine (esp tied to an initial cue) - Leave your stuff out the night before
3. Nudge Norms - Surrounding yourself with others who are studying, so you are "nudged" to study too in order to fit in, whether that is through physical location (library, study centre, etc)... - ... or through virtual options, "Study With Me"s on YouTube, or a support / accountability group on WhatsApp
4. Build Belonging - Find people you can identify with / similar ideals: maybe look for community and role models outside your real-life circle if necessary
5. Boost Buy-In - The importance of WHY we're choosing to do it - Intention setting: what will you do, how, when - The public calendar chain strategy

18. Coconut Shells To Industry Titan - "When I Grow Up" Month
00:36:44
Welcome to a very special series of episodes on Exam Study Expert, where we're unpacking the lives of individuals who have achieved success in a certain field, figuring out what motivated them when they were at school and university, finding out what they chose to study and why, and learning their top tips for success in their own field, or in life generally.
Today: the most inspiring story I've had the privilege of telling here on the podcast, the tale of a boy from a Fijian village with no electricity or running water, who grew up to be a highly respected business leader managing several hundred thousand employees and advising government on economic development.
His story beautifully illustrates the power of education to unlock opportunity for anyone, no matter what your background. If you are looking for a role model who achieved great things in life despite total absence of privilege, and remained kind, humble and generous throughout, look no further than Josaia Mar.
