  1. The A B C’s of Finals

  2. Aspire to be done with papers before exams start • Try to get final papers done before final exams begin • If you can’t be “done” with a paper before your finals, at least get started that way there’s less stress and more time to spend studying for final tests

  3. Arrive at Tests Early • Sometimes there just aren’t enough chairs. • Everyone has to come to the final. Not everybody comes to class (don’t be that guy)

  4. Ackowledge the limits of Study Groups • A study group can be useful to go over material and discuss what’s going to be on the test • Study groups can’t teach you the material that you didn’t bother to learn or read

  5. Be sure that you’re ready! • Make sure you’re actually learning the material as you go along; go to class and take notes • Don’t put off studying until the night before • If you don’t understand something, ask the Professor

  6. Balance Classes... or not. • Make sure you focus on all of your exams, not just some • Prioritize which exams you’re studying for based on difficulty and the order you have to take them in

  7. Be Aware of Stressful People • Stress is contagious • Resist the urge to study with people who are super-stressed (they generally don’t end up doing anything productive anyway) • Avoid stress yourself by being prepared

  8. Create an Environment Conducive to Studying • Find a study space that is quiet and where you can concentrate • Wear headphones...even if you’re not listening to anything. It keeps people from interrupting you. • Take advantage of additional study spaces on campus that are open specially for finals

  9. Commit to your exams • Be a student first • Make sure that studying is a priority. Your club will be here in the spring; will you if you fail a class? • Don’t judge how much time you study by how much time someone else is studying. Everyone learns differently.

  10. Confidence • Be confident in your abilities. You’ve worked hard, now show the Professor! • Recognize that your “first guess” is often correct.

  11. And Take Care of yourself! • Make sure you’re sleeping, eating, and staying healthy for finals. Now’s not the time to go for the world record in not sleeping. • http://www.collegefashion.net/college-life/6-tips-to-beat-final-exam-stress/ • http://siue.com/ALESTLE/library/FALL2000/december7/finals.html • http://www.usnews.com/education/blogs/professors-guide/2010/12/10/top-15-hot-tips-for-finals • http://www.zencollegelife.com/best-tips-for-acing-final-exams/
