Studying for Finals (any class)

1st semester has come to an end and the dreaded finals week is over! [Cheers] Now in hindsight I feel that I should have studied much harder for Spanish. It may actually be my only B (hopefully!) My geography grade was at a solid A so I didn't have to worry about that too much! Now no one wants to hear my rant on about my grades so here's some
tips for studying for the finals: 
  1. Always study the study guides the teacher gives!
  2. If there's a cheat sheet, write all over it. Abuse that thing. Everyone says that things you write down you remember, so you won't have to glance onto your cheat sheet too often on the test.
  3. Anticipate your teacher's questions! If your algebra teacher has a special liking towards factoring, expect some factoring questions! My biology teacher loves ecology and half of the test was on ecology - funny how it works out, isn't it?
  4. Study all the handouts of for math: study notes, warm-ups, review worksheets (if your teacher gives them), maybe homework - if you can read it
  5. Don't procrastinate your studying! You may be able to cram in some concepts if you already understood the concepts in the past. Something you can't procrastinate on is vocabulary. (At least I can't) You'll have to review vocabulary everyday in order for it to stick into your mind.
  6. When studying, try to go to the library, or somewhere that has no distractions. Yes, that means off the computer!
  7. Utilize your resources by going onto websites that help you review the material, making flashcards, asking questions about confusing concepts.
  8. Get a good sleep and eat a good breakfast before the final! You don't want to be sleepy during one of those tests... 
Hope those tips were helpful!
