The answer is an obvious YES. Actually it is very much encouraged that you take some time off and ENJOY the Holidays, However this does NOT mean that you actually stop studying (as well as visiting this site for updates). Take time to celebrate but do not lose momentum, Think of it as this way, as of this moment, your mind is already attuned to studying to such an extent that it's already a part of your system. Now, if you suddenly stopped, all the momentum that you built up from the previous months will be gone and this can lead to undesirable events (trust me..the probability that you will forget all the things that you have studied prior to the vacation will increase). Be sure to maintain a steady study habit but do not forget the holidays. After all, we all need a break once in awhile.

Here are some of my tips for celebrating your holidays as well as not losing focus on your review:

1. Make a schedule of activities. Plan all your parties and if possible allot a time for studying. It just depends on your "diskarte"

2. Do not tire yourself needlessly. Proper sleep plays a sufficient role in retention.Be sure to have plenty of rest before review classes resume.

3. Avoid too much alcohol intake (I did not say you abstain from it.But please drink moderately)

4. Avoid doing things that might jeopardize or prevent you from resuming review classes or worse, taking the board exams. (untoward incidents such as firecracker accidents,barfights,untimely pregnancies, etc etc)

5.Lastly, never stop praying and asking for guidance!

Enjoy your holidays, future engineers and coleagues. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year !
