Studying for an Exam after Midday on Friday

Question

I have a very important exam. Is it permitted for me to study on Friday after midday?

Answer

Shalom!
It is permitted to study for an exam after midday.
[A prohibition is mentioned only in the context of performing work, [and even that is only from the time of the Mincha prayer, and not from midday] and not in the context of other non-Shabbos matters].
