Final exams
The following tips on preparing for final exams were provided by Dr. Sally Lipsky, study-skills expert from the Developmental Studies Department:
- Find out as much as you can in advance about the exam to prevent surprises (material to be covered, type of exam, location and time of exam).
- Start studying now, not at the last minute.
- Choose a comfortable location, distraction-free, for studying.
- Develop your own summary study guide to refresh your memory.
- Recite aloud to yourself as you study. (It helps you to remember.)
- Develop a set of practice questions.
- Get plenty of rest and practice a healthy, mentally alert lifestyle in advance of the exam.
- Finally, gain a feeling of confidence by knowing that you are well-prepared.
Good luck!
