at first, preparing for finals early can sound like stressful overkill. but if you get organized as soon as possible, you\u2019ll actually be less stressed. always keep finals in mind, even in the first few months of the semester, and the exams will be a breeze.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

write to your future self<\/h2>\n

when you\u2019re taking notes, write in a way that your future self will understand. try to write neatly, and form sentences that make sense. this way, you won\u2019t have any missing gaps in the information.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

always keep tests in mind<\/h2>\n

think about what information will be especially important for your upcoming tests. try to focus most of your energy on it. don\u2019t waste your time on readings that you probably won\u2019t be quizzed on.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

think about common themes<\/h2>\n

think about common themes or connections in the material. in the final, you may be asked to write essays connecting ideas from different units. it\u2019s helpful if you\u2019ve already given these connections some thought.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

ask questions<\/h2>\n

don\u2019t wait to ask your teacher questions. don\u2019t procrastinate until right before the final like everyone else. get your confusions out of the way as soon as they arise. you\u2019ll feel more confident in your classes in general.<\/p>\n
