TIPS for studying for final exams

 * 1. Get organized: **
 * Organize notes, tests and quizzes, handouts, homework, worksheets and so on.
 * Figure out if you are missing something and be sure to locate new copies, etc.
 * Find and organize all vocabulary lists with definitions, go through word maps and vocabulary image sheets that you created. Quiz yourself on all of the words, then, make flash cards for the words you don’t know and can’t easily use in a sentence of your own. Look at all old vocabulary quizzes. Star the questions you missed and figure out what you didn’t know.
 * Organize THQs and look them all over. Pay especially close attention to any points that you lost.
 * Write down questions to ask your teacher regarding material that you don’t understand.


 * 2. Schedule study time: **
 * Go into your assignment notebook and plan daily study sessions.
 * Start with short study sessions and lengthen them as you get closer to exams.


 * 3. Pay attention in class to clues about the exam when your teacher: **
 * Says something more than once
 * Writes material on the board
 * Pauses to review notes
 * Asks questions of the class
 * Says, “This is important”, “You will need to know this for the exam…”, “Be sure you understand..”


 * 4. Fill out the exam study guide: **
 * Begin right away and complete the study guide as soon as possible, but break it up into manageable sections.
 * Write down questions to ask your teacher when you come across a section that is more challenging.
 * Feel free to highlight it, write in it, underline things for emphasis, create images to solidify your knowledge – make it your own.


 * 5. Attend scheduled exam preparation sessions or extra help sessions: **
 * Come with some questions in mind.
 * Take notes and ask more questions while there.


 * 6. Create study tools: **
 * flash cards
