Finally, here are some tips as you prepare for finals week:
- Get a good night’s sleep and eat a high protein breakfast.
- Don’t study right before the test. Concentrate on being calm
and mentally accessing the information that you have already studied. - Get to the test a little early.
- Sit as close as possible to the area where you first learned the information in class.
- When you first get your exam, skim through the entire exam and mark off questions you know you can answer or questions that you don’t know right off the bat.
- Be sure to pace yourself to make sure that you finish on time.
- Make a decision to ignore students who finish the test before you.
- Use any extra time you have to double check your answers, make sure you’ve followed all directions and haven’t skipped any answers.
- Attend review sessions or meet with a tutor to review topics for the exam and discuss strategies to approach test questions.
- Visit the Tutoring Center for a comprehensive list of review sessions as well as for a listing of tutor hours for finals week.
