As you may know, the end of the trimester is approaching, which means finals are coming sooner than you know it.
Many students don’t know where to begin to study because there is so much information to look at. Here are a few useful tips that students and teachers say.
Begin by asking your teachers, what topics are on the final. This way you are not studying unuseful information. Once you know the topics, go through your notebook and put post-it notes where the topics occur.
“I like making flash cards to memorize vocabulary words,” said a senior. “It makes me think about the word more than just looking at the definition.
Many students hand out study guides for their students to refresh the topics from the trimester. Make sure to fill the whole worksheet out so it ‘clicks’ in your brain. Even a slight overview gets you thinking.
“Don’t look at the study guide the day before the exam. I tell my students to look at it multiple times and days before, to ensure it stays in their head. Take a half an hour everyday to study,” reported Mr. Woodcock.
North high has a study session called Cocoa N’ Cram at the end of each trimester. Many students and teachers are there to help out. The students go because they like getting free hot chocolate, hanging with friends, and preparing for finals.
The night before the test, get a good night sleep. Look at some of your notes too. Maybe quiz yourself with flashcards.
It’s the morning of your test and you’re super nervous. Get up early enough to make a good, healthy breakfast. Pack some snacks and a drink in your backpack. Make sure you have two or more number 2 pencils with an extra eraser. Once you leave your house, you should be on your way to success on your exams.
