How do I know if a café allows studying and laptops?

Policies can change by outlet; check the café’s official site/booking page (linked above) and avoid peak meal times.

What’s a good backup if café seating is full?

Keep NLB libraries in Singapore or community centre study rooms within one MRT stop, and switch there for timed practice blocks.

Should I rely on Wi‑Fi and sockets being available?

Treat them as “nice-to-have” unless the operator explicitly confirms; bring a power bank and download PDFs offline.

How long should I stay in one café session?

Time-box 60 - 90 minute focus blocks, then take a short reset break; longer marathons are harder to sustain in higher-noise environments. ### References Health Promotion Board - School Programmes --- Updated: 10 Jan 2026. Next review: 1 Jul 2026.*
