As we approach the crunch for final exams, here are a
couple of quick tips. I know it can be difficult but the earlier you can
incorporate these tips into your school habits the more
beneficial it will be
to you!
Get Plenty of Rest – Insufficient sleep does not only
deteriorate your health, but during finals it will drain your energy levels
making it extremely hard to focus; the result…unproductivity. If you are going
to pull an all-nighter just remember that the next day will take a toll on you.
Be Organized and Plan – Organization and planning in
advance is extremely important so that you are making good use of every hour. When
it comes to finals everything all of a sudden is a priority. The best thing to
do is try and get a head start and plan your tasks appropriately.
Avoid Procrastination – This ties in with the previously
mentioned point. Start on assignments early and better yet finish them in
advance. There is nothing worse than putting together a sub-par project at the last
hour.
Take a Breath – One too many times I have had that
overwhelming anxiety come over me…in these cases sometimes you need to just
take deep breath, or take a breath and collect your composure. Make time for
breaks as well, especially when you hit a mental block. Sometimes a change in
atmosphere will trigger thoughts from your memory that simply were not coming
to mind while sitting in front of the computer.
Practice – Repetition is the best way to get practice.
Review your notes on a regular basis so that it is all still fresh in your mind
when it comes to finals. You do not get better at singing, playing an
instrument, or playing a sport without practice; the same applies when it comes
to studying for exams.
Hope these quick tips are of some substance in your
preparation for final exams!
