Final Exam Tips & Checklist:
- Finals are cumulative, but will not cover everything – ask your teacher what you can expect on the test
- DO NOT miss the “review day” if your teacher has one. Come prepared to take notes and ask questions!
- Chip away at studying; try not to “cram”
- Save everything – including old tests and quizzes
- Save old notes
- Form a study group on a subject
Finals Checklist – 2-4 weeks before the exams
- Go through saved tests & quizzes; look over the questions you got wrong – do you understand why you got them wrong? Do you understand the concepts now?
- Re-organize or re-write old notes
- Ask your teacher about concepts you are still struggling with
- Quiz friends over vocabulary
- Watch Youtube videos or documentaries that are related to concepts you are studying (particularly in Science and History)
- Ask about essay questions in English and Theology – if there will be essay questions, re-read or review the material you will have to write about (e.g. short stories, poems, a particular passage of scripture, etc.)
Finals Checklist – week/weekend before the the exams
- Make sure to attend all your review classes
- Go through notes and highlight material you know will be on the test
- Get good sleep
- Eat healthy food
- Exercise
- Pray – don’t stress!
Hint: It’s easier to stay calm and perform well on the tests if you know that you have prepared!
