Ok so we all know that finals are a stressful part of our high school career. However, don’t worry! I’m here to help with some tips from Ms. Kelly, Ms. Sweeney, and Ms. Lewis.
Create a graphic organizer (use Inspirations or other computer-generated program) to represent one or many concepts.
Create a formal or informal outline for one or more chapters/units.
Create flashcards for any/all vocabulary terms.
Create a mnemonic (acrostic, acronym, peg, loci, story, or song).
Create visual prompts to recall concepts or terms (can be on paper or note cards).
Record yourself reading through outlines or notes and listen to recording at least 2x’s.
Rewrite your notes that you will be responsible for on the exam.
Create a study group with other members in this class and study. Group will have to coordinate so that all material is being covered in the sessions.
Talk to your teacher and make sure you are focusing on the right material.
Start studying early! Don’t cram the night before.
Create a distraction free environment to study for your exams.
Get a good night’s sleep before each exam.
Do the simple questions first to help build confidence for the harder questions.
Focus on the question at hand. Do not let your mind wander on other things.
Good luck on finals Redhawks! Have an amazing summer!
