PREPARING FOR

Have a Plan! List all of the Final Exam Dates on your Calendar Two Weeks Before Finals! Begin Preparation Two Weeks Before Finals! Make a Commitment to Yourself to Attend Every Class! Talk to the Professor about what may be on the exam!

How Much Time Will I Need?

Answer the following questions: What is my schedule like during the week of finals? The week before? Do I have other exams or papers due that week? How much material is there to cover? Do I need to work with a tutor to better understand the material?

GET TO WORK! Make and keep a study schedule. Study in a suitable place free from distractions. Organize all of your material before starting.

DON’T WAIT FOR INSPIRATION TO STRIKE… IT PROBABLY WON’T DON’T WAIT FOR INSPIRATION TO STRIKE… IT PROBABLY WON’T! DAILY PREPARATION IS KEY!

STAY OFF FACEBOOK!!

BEFORE AND AFTER CLASS Every day before class, preview the material for 15-20 minutes Spend 20-30 minutes after class going over notes Use this time to get any confusing points cleared up; much better now than later Once a week, review the material to get a complete overview of the information

ESCAPE TO THE CAPE Kupfrian 200

PRACTICE! PRACTICE! PRACTICE! Practice does not make perfect…perfect practice makes perfect! Work with students who know the material and solve the problems correctly Attend review sessions

CRAMMING DOES NOT WORK! Your anxiety level increases You will lose sleep and eat poorly You may get sick You may oversleep and miss the exam

CRAMMING DOES NOT WORK! Your short term memory will overload and you will forget what you learned When tired and hungry, you will not perform at a maximum level

The Professor Pay attention to hints the instructor may give about the test Ask the teacher to specify areas which will be emphasized on the test Ask! Ask! Ask!

TEACH ANOTHER STUDENT If you can teach the material to another student, then you really know it. Have tutors and classmates ask you to explain the subject.

HAVE CONFIDENCE IN YOUR ABILITY YOU CAN DO IT!! HAVE CONFIDENCE IN YOUR ABILITY
