Final Exam

TART early Use your calendar or planner

to organize your time Begin studying for finals at

least one full week in advance

Identify one hour and two hour blocks of time each day which are available for studying and schedule them in your planner or calendar.

Don’t try to cram a semester’s worth of material into one or two nights!

NDERSTAND

Is the final comprehensive (covers material from the entire semester) or non-comprehensive?

Will the final be essay, objective or a combination of both?

What equipment, if any is permitted in the room? (calculators, open books, notes, formula lists, etc.)

all of the information about the final…

OUTINE

Set aside two hours per day during your peak learning time (you know…when you’re alert and awake!)

Look at what you have to learn and break it down into manageable pieces

Begin this process NOW…don’t put it off!

Establish a study

ANISH from distractions

Find an out-of-the-way place to study so you won’t be distracted

Friends are great – but you’ll accomplish a lot more if you study on your own.

MMERSE yourself

Condense, summarize, reduce material onto file cards or single sheets

Develop mnemonic devices to memorize important information

Develop memory enhancers – flash cards, concept maps, etc.

Recite materially orally – auditory memory helps!

in your studies…

OW to get some sleep!

Rest before the exam --this is critical!

You need at least four hours of sleep per night to function

If you’re sleep deprived you won’t be able to comprehend the challenges of the exam

MIT cramming

By cramming at the last minute you will more than likely just confuse yourself

Use the time before the test to relax, catch your breath and get focused

five minutes before the test

EVIEW the test

Read all of the directions carefullyRead through the entire testAnswer the easy questions first if you

think you may be short on time (This is also a great way to gain momentum!)

Don’t waste all of your time on a 2-point questions when there are heavier weighted 10-point questions to tackle

RELAX!!!
