How to study and prepare for your finals.

Study Aids - Use note cards, practice tests, tutors and teacher assistants as top study aids.

Find a Study buddy - Pick out one of the smarter people in the class so you can team up and work together on upcoming tests and projects.

Review Previous Tests - Go over previous tests throughout the quarter. Spend most of your time learning what you got wrong. You should also take the time to get to know the format of the final so that there are no opportunities for misunderstanding later.

Cramming - Many say "cramming" is not the way to go, as you lose this information fast. If you do cram, it is recommended to do it within 24 hours of your final, so the content is fresh in your head. Review all of your material at least once through to deal with any and all unread materials. You should ensure that you understand all basic concepts before moving on to the next subject.

All-Nighters - Many say try and maintain a "normal" sleeping schedule, however this is almost impossible. Yes, you will be pulling a couple of all-nighters, and you will be fine (maybe just a little worn out after finals week). Just remember to take short breaks in between tasks to give your brain a refresher.

Caffeine - Perfect for the late night study sessions. Be sure to keep quantities of Red Bull and Mt. Dew on hand.

Collaborate Notes - Use note collaboration tools (if available) to compare class notes with fellow peers.

Search the web for similar exams and solutions. Many professors/teachers use each other questions.
