The pronoun "her" refers back to Maria-José, making her the antecedent. The cognition exam is simply the subject matter that Maria-José is studying for and does not function as an agent. "Studying hard" is not an anaphoric reference because it does not refer back to any previously mentioned noun. "Studying" and "exam" are not concurrent references as they refer to separate concepts.
