Ten Point Plan on How to Live Through Finals
1. Know when and where the exam is given. You would be
surprised how many students miss their final because of some kind
of mix-up on scheduling.

2. Plan your study time. If you only have so much time to learn all
of American History, Calculus and Biology, use the time to your
best advantage. Make a study chart giving so much time to each
subject.
3. Break up your subjects. You can't concentrate on one subject
for hours on end, so drop it and spend some time on another
subject, then return to the original subject.
4. Reward yourself. For every hour of real studying (not including
rereading the same sentence 15 times) give yourself a 10-minute
break.
5. Be good to yourself. Eat well, dress well, sleep as much as
possible - on your study breaks read a good book, listen to music,
whatever you enjoy doing.
6. Don't depend on Study Groups. Unless you and the others have
already studied the material.
7. Study what's important. Use the syllabus, earlier tests and
your impressions to decide what the instructor wants you to know
from the course. Chances are that will be on the test.
8. Ask yourself questions. Just reading and rereading the stuff
will drive you nuts. Make up questions as you go then put the book
down and answer them.
9. Study Backwards. You're most liable to forget what was taught
at the beginning of the quarter, so start with the most recent
material and move back so you study the early stuff just before the
test.
10. Relax for the half-hour before the test. Talk to a friend, eat a
sundae, run around the drill field screaming...whatever relaxes you.
