Cramming Reduces Chances In Final Exams, Doctor Says If the question of what do you do the night before an “exam” were to be asked of every student on this campus, fully 90 per cent of them would probably answer, “cram.” According to Dr. Hayes this is one of the worst things that you can do. “Plenty of rest will help you more than staying up all night.” Many professors advocate that you see a movie the night before an exam so that you will be relaxed for the test the next day.

Your folks will enjoy reading it. university ot Florida processors recommend that the student eat lightly of salads, easily digested foods, and sugar, candy or some other quick burning energy food just before being tested. They con tend that light foods take away that sluggish feeling and aid in making your mind more alert. It is known that during, exam week many students use benze drine tablets and “No-Doz” tablets to help keep them awake for their cramming. These tablets, which tend to sharpen the wits for a while are described in various magazines as being dangerous for people with heart trouble or high blood pressure. Dr. Hayes says that many students have come to her after taking the tablets and complained of a sluggish feeling. A Northern professor labels their use as “burning the candle at both ends.” What is true of drugs such as benzedrine is also true of over-dos ing with coffee and stimulants. The effects are hard on the sys tem and do not really help yop in your exam, it has been determined. A good night’s sleep is better than anything else. The following rules might well be followed in preparing for exams: 1. Know your subject so well that cramming isn’t necessary, 2. Eat lightly of energy giving foods, re tire early and get plenty of sleep, 3, Let the drugs alone. Extension Division (Continued from page one) per cent.
