Preparing for Finals - From the Academic Services Center
As finals are quickly approaching, it is important for students to prepare in a productive manner which can reduce stress and anxiety and increase memory and recall of information. Here are some tips and strategies for successful preparation in advance of the finals.
1. Plan your time wisely.
• Gather together all of your materials for each course
• Set Priorities (look at the value of the exams and your standing in the class)
• Create a daily study plan, budgeting your time based upon your priorities and your level of prior preparation.
2. Plan and organize the content areas you need to study.
• Survey your notebook, textbook, past tests, study guides, and other handouts.
• Concentrate on the material that is most important.
• Concentrate on the material that is less difficult to understand (avoid material that is very complex and time-consuming.
3. Skim over all of the material you identified.
• Create a list of the most likely topics to be covered on the final.
• Use the table of contents, your highlights in the book and notes, the syllabus, ask your fellow classmates.
4. Employ a learning strategy.
• Choose a study strategy that forces you to test your knowledge as it will be required on the exam, e.g., recall or recognition
• Create flashcards, a study guide, practice test questions, graphic organizers, charts, etc.
