How to Study for Finals!

1) Download the self-control app. This is probably the most important first step to take because there's no way you can get your best studying done if you have your Facebook, Twitter, or Tumblr tabs still open!

2) Now would also be a good time to calculate your grades if you don't know where you stand in class.  This way you'll know exactly how much time you need to spend studying for each class, some may require a lot more attention and others may require very little.

3) Identify your study goals.  There's bound to be certain material in classes that are more important to review than others and you can set goals for how much you want to accomplish with certain material.

4) Create your study plan.  Most students prefer the format of an outline because it can be so concise.  This is where you put together all the studying material for your test.

5) Start studying in advance.  Finals week is upon us and now is the time to start preparing for the harder classes.

6) Go to office hours or form a study group.  Once you have gone over the material and still feel like there's some confusing aspects, utilize these resources.  Your professors and classmates can help fill you in on any missing pieces and the collaborative effort would benefit everyone.

Good luck studying!
