Finals Week Prep!

Well I know its not the thing everyone wanted to hear but the most terrible time of the year is fast approaching ....

FINALS WEEK!!!

The dreaded hours of studying and prepping for a few hours of your life that will make or break an entire semester of class! 

We have all been through it on many levels depending on if your in middle school, high school or college

No matter what level you are you still know how stressful this time can be, especially now that break is also so close you can almost touch it! 

Well I'm going through it too and ill give you some of my tips that may help you make this time just a little less stressful (or ATON LESS!!!)

First off make sure you are going to all of your classes! 

I can't stress that enough! 

This probably is only something that pertains to college students because its a lot easier to skip classes but try your best not to!

You should not be skipping many classes at all but towards the end of the semester it is more important because your teachers and professors will be giving you a lot of information as to what may or may not be on the final. Also many teachers will start to give out extra credit opportunities and that is something you will definitely want to miss! Also many teachers like to give out quizzes to test and see where people are and how much help they need before taking the exam. 

You want to have all the information you can to help you study for the finals as much as possible! 

No one wants to go into the finals and realize they just studied the complete wrong thing! 

Next tip is get a tutor!!!!!

This is so helpful and important!

Yes you can do study groups and if that works for you then great but if your like me then study groups do not help at all! But a one on one tutor will be able to help so much! 

Now when I say tutor I don't mean a friend who is taking the class with you, I mean someone who is being paid or is getting credit to teach you everything!

These peoples soul purpose is to sit in a room and teach a student everything they need for there class! Usually these people are people who got a extremely high grade in the class and understand it more than most people! It will help you so much! 

Most schools only give you so many free tutoring hours but don't let that keep you from a tutor! 

I say this because I know my school has a Student Success building and this building is all about tutoring! They will have certain times when a bunch tutors are scheduled to be in a room and you can just go in and get free tutoring! 

This is something that every school I have been to has had but they do not advertise it because they want you to pay! So you may need to find it! 

Start studying at least two weeks before your final if not three weeks! 

These are going to a lot of things from previous test so if you can you should be studying what was on the previous tests as your going through the semester! 

Most professors like to use similar questions just rewording!

Now things to help you through the stress! 

Do not burn yourself out with studying! 

Yes you need to study a lot but not to the point that that is all you are doing! 

You need to take breaks and put your mind on other things it is the only way you will start to retain what you have studied! 

Also a AMAZING stress reliever is coloring! 

Yes I did say coloring! 

You can find the adult coloring books almost anywhere now a days and they are the best purchase you will make! It is amazing how much it can calm you down when you are feeling extremely stressed, plus you get to color which just makes you happier in general! 

Next and last tip for now is keep yourself healthy and happy! 

Eat right and keep yourself out of negative things!

If you do not do those things no matter how ready you may think you are for a final you will be sitting in that final thinking about whatever drama or stress is in your life and not the questions on the test!

The last on is something you should always be doing because no matter what is going on in your life it is always going to get better! always put yourself in a good situation not a bad one because it will make everything in life, especially school 1000000 times easier!!!
