5 Finals Week Tips That Will Save Your Grade
1. Block all of those pesky sites that keep you from studying
Don’t waste any more time binge watching your favorite Netflix show when you should be hitting the books! Extensions such as StayFocused or Cold Turkey will temporarily block those distracting sites so you can focus on what is really important, acing your finals. Direct links for these extensions will be posted on the Commuter Student Services Facebook page.
2. Don't procrastinate
Start crafting those study playlists now; you don't want to give yourself any reason to put off studying. Make a list of all your exams and create study guides ahead of time so you aren't spending valuable time preparing to study instead of actually studying.
3.Study in groups
This method of studying is also valuable for time management. Instead of spending time re-reading a chapter of your textbook or trying to reteach yourself material, have a friend explain it to you. This helps to solifidy the information for them, while they teach it to you.
4. Ask for help
Don't be afraid to ask your professor any lingering questions you may have. If you have papers or presentations that will take place of final examinations, utilize free services such as the writing and speaking center sooner rather than later.
5.Take breaks & Get lots of rest
Avoid all nighters and binge coffee drinking as these methods will only leave you feeling groggy and disoriented during your tests.
Good luck!
