Preparing for final exams can be a stressful time for you. It is most beneficial to review the
material for short periods of time well before the exam rather than for many hours right before
the exam.
1. To help you begin your preparations, use this guide to get organized. Begin by
reviewing the list of topics that we covered in Chinese I during the first semester on the
next page. For each topic, collect the following materials:





Textbook
Vocabulary quizzes and homework sheets for each chapter
The character work book
The students activity manual
Chapter reading and writing tests.
2. Once you have organized the materials for each chapter, begin to review a new topic
15-20 minutes each day leading up to the exam.
3. You may also utilize the website for your student activity manual for additional practice,
found on my webpage: MyChineseLab or go to the website directly:
MyChineseLab.com. You could review grammar in Tutorials (on the yellow bar of main
screen). You also may practice on the additional practice questions and watch the
videos on Language in Use. (Important!!!)
