12/1/2015 0 Comments Study Tips/Hacks For FinalsAlright, studying may be a pain for Finals, but these tips are great for studying (You might recognize these if you are in STEM): 1. Create a schedule for studying times, rather than studying at random times 2. Study for around 25 minutes, then take a break for 5 minutes. You don't want to flood yourself with studying. 3. Color code all your notes, it helps keep you organized and a change in color can actually refresh your brain and you won't get as tired as often. 4. Don't stay up studying! The more you get tired, the less you'll focus and the more you'll forget. And staying up is bad. 5. Don't cram with studying, you'll mix up concepts and study over time, it helps with memorization. 6. Get in a study group! It helps with memorization and sharing ideas. 7. Draw, map, and create fun ways to memorize things, it helps with easily memorizing things. 8. Study subjects every hour or two so you don't get bored with the same subject. It helps keep your brain active and prevents loss of memorization. 9. Study key information right before you go to sleep, your brain will store this information for long term usage. 10. Don't stress, as long as you study well, you can enjoy the days before and possibly during Finals! Extras: 1. To prepare, you can use notecards, ask people to quiz you, and study previous tests and quizzes! 2. While you test, skim over it to see how long you should spend on each question, eliminate answers, double check your answers if you have time, use context to help understand the question, skip the questions you think are difficult and come back to them later. Just don't forget you skipped them. 3. Go to tutoring or the Internet if you don't understand something! Hacks: 1. You may have heard that chewing gum while studying and then taking the test for the same subject will help you remember things more easily, which works, but if you want something that takes less effort, spray perfume or use flavored chap stick during studying and testing! 2. DRINK WATER, not only is it a necessity, but if you drink less water, you'll start to make up things you never studied. 3. Wear comfortable clothes, not clothes that are fashionable (unless they're comfortable), you want to stay focused test! 4. In math, forget what formula to use? Use the givens and if there's something that's missing, it's either the answer or it's not the right formula. And wonder why teachers taught you how to solve things the long way? It's so you understand it and get why a certain formula is used. Links and Videos: Math
