As IB exams approach, counsellor Carolina Serra encourages students to prioritize both academic preparation and personal wellbeing. Maintaining a healthy balance between studying and rest, using strategies such as the Pomodoro Technique, and taking care of sleep, nutrition, exercise, and social connections can help reduce stress and improve performance. Remember, rest is not a luxury, it is an essential part of success.
