Finals week can be a tense time for all students I know it\nis for me. So, knowing how to appropriately prepare for finals is the crucial\nto avoiding stress and acing every single one of your exams. Of course, all students\nwould like to relax by casually watching anime or even listen to a podcast before\nfinals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Say NO to cramming Study in intervals. Studying in 20-50-minute\nincrements and giving yourself 5-10 minutes in between is more advantageous\nthan cramming. Spreading learning over\ntime typically helps long-term retention more than a short period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. Alternate study spots: Shake up your final\u2019s routine.\nSpending all night in the public library can be draining. According to the New\nYork Times, simply swapping the room where a person studies enhances retention.\nIn an experiment, psychologists found that college students who studied a list\nof 40 vocabulary words in two separate rooms one windowless and cluttered, the other\nmodern, with a view on a courtyard did\nfar better on a test than students who studied the words twice, in the same\nroom. Supposedly, the brain makes delicate connections between what it is\nstudying and the environment sensations it has at the time. Try varying your\nstudy spots between the library, a study room, and a quiet coffee house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. Time management Cramming causes anxiety, which reduces\nyour ability to retain information. By creating a stable study plan and timetable,\nyou will be able to study each subject matter in its entirety and eventually give\na boost to your test performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. DECREASE distractions Research shows that while many\nteens prefer to study while listening to music, texting friends, or watching\ntelevision, they are less expected to keep information that way. If you must\nlisten to music, stick to instrumental music and contemplate downloading these\nstudy tools to keep you concentrated!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
