girlfriend + exam time stress

I was wondering if anyone had advice on helping their partners through exam periods. It is difficult for me to know exactly what to do, because my girlfriend is very committed to her study and is in any case taking a demanding course - law and music combined. This means that anything affectionate or relaxing that takes more than, say, an hour, will simply make her more stressed because of the time lost. Even simply studying with her - we live at college together - can cause problems, as we often end up distracting one another.

What I want is simply to be able to support her without becoming a problem myself. I will be grateful for any advice whatever.

I think the best thing you can do at the most stressful times is give her a little bit of space to her.

Could you set aside a particular time to see one another, like making it a formal arrangement? Agree to have all the revision for that day done by 10pm and then meet up for an hour or so?
