Well, it looks like it's that time of the year again—that’s right it's time for finals! You have been gearing up for this moment for quite awhile now. Finals can be pretty stressful, so make sure you're prepared! But have no fear, with these quick tips you’re bound to ace those finals!
1. Go to class
I know this sounds crazy, but in order to do well on your finals you actually have to go to class!
2. Make a game plan
Having a study schedule written out is helpful with figuring out how to prioritize your time.
3. Take charge of your grades
There is no one there to tell you when and how to study for your finals.
4. Study groups
Studying with a group is beneficial! If you are having a hard time with a particular concept there is bound to be someone who knows it.
5. If you haven't already, start going to office hours
Your teachers are really helpful and sometimes they can give you an advantage for meeting with them!
6. Try not to load up on junk food
Caffeine might keep you awake, but you also need to fuel your body with the proper nutrients in order to retain useful information.
7. Write out everything you know
If you need help memorizing something, try writing out everything you know about it.
8. Take a break
If you spend every single hour trying to study, you won't be able to focus. So make sure you take some breaks, just not too many!
9. Don't beat yourself up
There are times when you just know that you won't do as well as you had hoped for in a class. Don't beat yourself up about it!
10. Be your own cheerleader
There is power in a positive attitude. When you believe in yourself, positive outcomes tend to occur!
11. Be proud of all you accomplished
The semester is almost over! With the proper studying habits you're going to rock those finals.
Good luck!
