How to Excel in Exams and Embrace Ramadan

Is this Ramadan blended with examinations? Marrying the demands of Ramadan and examinations is like weaving together the threads of spiritual depth and academic rigour, creating a tapestry that reflects the resilience and dedication of the human spirit.

Our team at Lady Evelyn Independent School has compiled these tips to help you navigate this period safely:

Early Bird Gets the Worm…And the A’s

Rise with the dawn for Suhoor, not just for nourishment but to carve out quiet time for revision. The tranquillity and spiritual uplift of the early morning are unparalleled, providing an ideal setting for both reflection and focused study. Remember, the Prophet (PBUH) said, \”O Allah, bless my nation in their early mornings (i.e., what they do early in the morning).\” [Sunan Ibn Majah 2239.] Let’s make those early hours count!

Structure with Flexibility

Draft a schedule that respects your religious obligations and your academic needs. This dual focus requires a dance between dedication to your studies and to your faith, allowing for flexibility to adapt as your energy levels ebb and flow. Consider your timetable more of a jazz improvisation than a classical composition – the base is the same, but you’re allowed to riff!

Nutrition: Your Brain’s Best Friend

Balancing your diet during Ramadan is crucial, not just for your physical well-being but for your mental sharpness too. Incorporate brain foods like berries, nuts, and fish into your Suhoor and Iftar meals. Think of it as fuelling your brain’s marathon through your exams – nobody runs a marathon on empty.

Allah\’s Support

Allocate time for additional prayers and dua, specifically seeking success in your exams. This spiritual connection can provide solace and strength, reminding us that we are not alone in our struggles. Plus, who better to ask for help than the One who knows all?

Digital Detox

Limit your screen time, especially on social media. Ramadan is the perfect opportunity to practise self-restraint, not just from food and drink but from the digital distractions that can fragment our attention and disrupt our study sessions. Imagine your willpower as a muscle – Ramadan is its gym.

Breaks Are Sacred

Remember, the Prophet (PBUH) taught us the importance of balance – your mind needs rest as much as it needs stimulation. Break up your study sessions with short, restorative breaks to pray, reflect, or simply breathe. These moments of rest are not just breaks in your study session but bridges to better understanding and retention.

Collaborative Study Sessions

Organise or join group study sessions after Taraweeh prayers if possible. Sharing knowledge not only reinforces your own learning but also builds a sense of community and support. As the saying goes, “A problem shared is a problem halved.” Let’s extend that to knowledge shared is knowledge doubled.
