There are only 2 more weeks of classes left (Woo!) but this also means Final exams are also coming up (Boo!). So I thought it would be an appropriate time to start discussing ways to know what your teacher plans on putting on the test and other things to keep you on the right track to getting an A.
1. Don't study so much that you get stressed out and are unable to study. It happens all the time but don't let it happen to you. Just focus on all the materials your professor gives you and you'll do great.
2. Go to any study session available. Teachers usually have these or ask their T.A.'s to have a session for students to come and ask questions. Get the bulk of your studying done before this so you know exactly what you need to know or want to know for the test.
3. Have some you time. Go work out or place some video games. Even going to the mall for a little will help give your mind a little break to make sure you don't over work it.
4. Pay attention in the classes leading up to the exam. Teachers almost always have a class dedicated to what is on the exam. If you have been slacking all semester, this is the time you should really tighten your chain and get to class.
5. Go to sleep. Take a nap. Get lots of sleep to keep your energy up by sleeping enough. Make sure you give yourself enough time to study and don't pull an all-nighter.
6. Arrive on time. You don't want to wake up late and be extremely anxious from being late. Plus your going to want every second of the time to use for your final.
7. Study in Groups. If you aren't studying the right way, this is the best way to make sure you are. If other students picked up the same themes and details from class as you have, then you are on the right track to getting a good grade.
8. When the exam is over, let it go! Forget it! Move on to the next one, or go enjoy the break! If you do have major concerns, go see your professor.
Hopefully these tips help you out with the next two weeks. And maybe you'll survive finals week :)
