Hello! Welcome to my blog. In this blog I will tell you about how to survive for the finals week.
The end is there. Finals week is right around the corner. This means that I survived one semester at SUU. During this semester I tried to keep up with all my classes. Now it is time to rock all my classes and go back to the Netherlands with awesome grades.
Here are four tips to prepare yourself for finals week:
Finals week preparations
1. Take your time
Start early. Taking advantage of an entire week and spacing out studies help students retain information and lower their stress. If you have fifty pages of notes, study then at a time.
2. Organization
The most difficult and effective way to organize is to outline. Outline your exam schedule, time to study, who you are going to study with, where you’re going to study #basementlibrary, and stick to the plan. Also outline your notes and place them in order of importance.
3. Take time for leisure
Whether it be sleeping, eating, playing a round of golfs, or binging on Netflix, taking breaks can be very beneficial. Exercise and fresh air help to relax the muscles and the brain!
The best way to test your understanding of a topic is to explain it to someone else. Studying in groups, if the groups stays on topic, is very rewarding. Compare notes and fill in empty gaps. You only truly know something when you can teach it. Rewrite notes and print hard copies. Writing with pen and paper, as well as having tactile notes, aid in grasping and memorizing difficult concepts.
