With school coming to a close and summer kicking off, we can't forget about the stressful week before school gets out. Finals week. Finals can be a very stressful time for all students but this post will tell you how to avoid the stress by being prepared.
Study
Of course it sounds cliché and obvious but it seriously works. The only way to get a good grade is by preparing for the test. One way to do this is by looking over your notes. By feeling confident in the material, you will be confident on the test. You can also study by taking practice tests or asking your teacher for extra problems to be prepared. A great way to understand the material is by reteaching it to someone else. Once you can teach it, then you definitely understand everything needed to know.
Take Breaks
Taking breaks durning studying is key. The best way to comprehend the information is to take breaks. Studying for about 50 minutes and then breaking for 15 minutes is very useful. Another way to stimulate your brain is by writing in blue or black ink and even chewing gum while studying / testing.
Stay Well Rested
A great way to prepare for finals is to get lots of sleep. Being on your A-game everyday is the best way to ace finals. Sleeping about 8 hours a night is ideal but at least 6 hours is best.
Be Organized
Making a list of everything you need to acomplish and the amount of time you have left. Plan out what to study each night and figure out what is the best way for you to plan. Keeping your notes together and all classwork is another way to stay organized. Even cleaning your room/ stay area, when you have a good surrounding, you are more likely to accomplish what you needed to do.
Relax
A good way to prepare for finals is just by relaxing in general. A nice face mask, trip to the nail salon, or even just bingeing your favorite show. Doing something you love is a good distraction from all the stress. It's time to treat yourself.
Everyone has had to deal with finals before. Being prepared for finals is a great way to ace the tests. I hope these tips helped and you'll do great.
