  3. Study in Groups
    Teamwork and collaborative learning can be fun and useful.  Bubble Group Study Rooms and the Multipurpose Room in the Learning Garden are open 24 hours during the exam period.

  4. Relax
    Take a short break and play chess in the Chess and Games area in the Learning Garden if you feel bored or cannot concentrate on your study.  To restore your willpower, have a hot beverage and some snacks in the Refreshment Zone.  Free candies are available at the Learning Garden and branch libraries during examination time.
