Rundown:

rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.

Hey anon, I just studied for the bar exam and was in pretty much this exact situation for two months, and it's hard. Don't feel ashamed or apologetic about it being hard. It doesn't mean that you're lazy or a failure or should just be working harder. It's a really difficult time.

Now, some tips from my own experience, ymmv:

Reward yourself at the end of each practice exam. Maybe it's doing a handful of tags, or watching a music video, or eating a piece of chocolate, or if you have time watching an episode of a sitcom.

Take care of your health even if it means taking time off from studying. For me, that was taking time to cook healthy meals and diet when my weight starting climbing back up. For you, it might be booking that appointment. If there's something you can do for half an hour (stretching? self-massage? yoga? warm bath?) that helps for the chronic pain, do it even if it interrupts your studying.

Personally, I'd switch from watching TV to listening to music during the practice tests, and using the TV as a reward - TV distracts me from absorbing information, so I have difficulty retaining tests I take when I watch a storyline, and the sense of getting something good as my reward for completing a task made taking on the next task less daunting. But that's entirely up to you.

Remember that it will be over soon. Plan what you're going to do when it's done. Check dates off on a calendar. I got an advent calendar and ate a chocolate every morning I was closer to the exam.

Best of luck, anon. <3
