Well, we are now in the midst of final exam week. At most schools your schedule is now different - classes are not meeting and the finals are probably at slightly different times. Here are a few survival tips:
- Write down the days, times and locations of your exams. Because the schedule is different, it is easy to get mixed up.
- Look ahead. When is your most difficult exam? Start to study early and often for that.
- When you are going to bed, quickly review the information for your first exam the next day and then immediately go to sleep. This will help that information stay in your long-term memory.
- Maintain healthy eating, sleeping and exercising patterns. This is not a good time to feel ill!
- Do NOT stay up all night to study. You will not remember anything you study and you will not recover your sleep for several days. This will negatively impact exams on the following days!
After exams, enjoy a well-deserved rest. Take a few minutes to reflect on your semester. What went well? What could you change? We'll come back to this at the beginning of the next semester.
For now - enjoy a job well-done!
