Oh..... It's that time of year again. Time to sharpen those number two pencils and be ready to fill in those scantron bubbles! Finals are almost here!
When you mention the word final to a college student this is probably on their list of what they cringe in fear at. This particularly occurs with students who have an LD and are extremely bad at test taking (Like myself).
A finals week approaches (and believe me, it is approaching!!!!) It is important to take the time (at least the week before) to prepare yourself for all of your exams. Below I have created a survival guide for finals that will prepare you for glory and ace those finals!!!!
Cheryl's Survival 101 Guide To Surviving Finals
1. Be Healthy! Get at least 7-8 hours of sleep each night. In addition, try to eat healthy as well. During your meals be sure to add some vegetables, fruit, protein, and whole grains. Your body will thank you !!!
2. Review class notes, lectures, and textbooks. Some professors tend to be very sneaky on exams and use the textbook to create exam questions, particularly on multiple choice tests.
3. If your TA/Professor is holding a final exam review session, GO TO IT!!!!! They will give you hints and tips of advice on how to study for their exam. Need I Say More? Just GO !!!!
4. Make sure during final exam day to bring extra pens, pencils, and erasers. I can't tell you how many times during an exam one of my pencils has broken and I wasn't allowed to get up and sharpen my pencil!!!
5. Exercise!!! Exercise helps the brain to function and help you be more alert while taking tests!!! Attend a group exercise class or do some strength or cardio workouts on your own.
6. Set an multiple alarms the night before your final exam so you will not be late for your exam!!!
7. Arrive early for an exam. Make sure you have enough time to get to the exam location and have enough time to get settled once at the exam location
8. Plan a schedule of when you will review for each class. Remember to also plan for study breaks!!!!!!
9. Make sure you know the exact location of where your final exam will be held. If you are even the slightest bit unsure contact your TA/Professor IMMEDIATELY!!!!
10. TIME MANAGEMENT IS KEY !!!! make sure in your schedule you have time to socialize with friends and also have room to study for those finals exams.
Stay Strong, Don't Give up, Have confidence in yourself. YOU WILL SURVIVE !!!!
AND NOW....
A little YouTube video to enjoy and be ready to start studying for finals.
