How to Study for Finals YOUR GUIDE FOR ENDING THE SEMESTER
2
When are Finals? [Update]
3
Budget your Time DO NOT cram the night before Divide the material into several sections a night Reward yourself as you study
4
Identify how to Study Short Term Studying : info will not stay in your brain after the test Long Term Studying : the info will stay with you
5
Finding a Technique that Works for Me FLASHCARDS: write words on one side, definitions on the other MASTER SHEET: review your notes and condense material into 1 study sheet MNEMONICS: for lists or orders, develop a mnemonic to remember NOTE: This usually only works for short-term learning
6
Finding a Technique that Works for Me PRACTICE TEST: Imagine what questions the teacher might ask. Try to answer it in the test format RE-READ: Reread SELECT portions of your text. Especially look over chapter summaries at the end. If you can answer the review questions in your text books, you should be OK!
7
Finding a Technique that Works for Me ONLY STUDY WHAT YOU NEED TO: Don’t waste your time reviewing what you already know… Identify what you got wrong on worksheets or quizzes. Review so you won’t repeat the same mistakes!
8
Study Groups Invite several friends over; agree to keep conversations focused on academics! Divide the material and review together Set a reward for yourself after you meet the study goal

Know the Format Ask the teacher the format (true/false, essay, multiple choice, etc.) Know what sections are worth the most points Ask what materials should be reviewed
10
Silly Stuff, but it Helps! Get a good night’s rest Follow the morning routine that works for you. (Don’t drink coffee if you don’t normally! Don’t eat a huge breakfast if you normally don’t eat much for breakfast.) Dress well—if you look good, you’ll perform good! Arrive on time Go to the bathroom before hand: teachers will be stationed in the halls during finals, and you cannot leave during testing
