Audio review for Exam 1 (OCT 9), & how to prepare for an exam

Don't stress, don't pull an all-nighter, do listen to the audio review (but NOTE: our exam is on OCT 9), revisit the relevant texts, get some fresh air, get some rest. 
And relax: "If you want really to do your best in an examination, fling away the book the day before, say to yourself, “I won’t waste another minute on this miserable thing, and I don’t care an iota whether I succeed or not.” Say this sincerely, and feel it; and go out and play, or go to bed and sleep, and I am sure the results next day will encourage you to use the method permanently." William James, “Gospel of Relaxation"
