Guide for finals preparation

First semester finals are coming up, and many students have different strategies to review for the test.

Finals do take a lot of studying, but there are ways to spend your time efficiently, and not cram everything at the last minute.

Some people try to motivate themselves when studying. Sophomore Sammy Kifle said, “When finals comes to mind, it means whether we’re gonna pass or whether we’re gonna go to college, and so that’s what I study for.”

Getting review sheets, making notecards, asking teachers for specific questions, and just looking over old exams and assignments are key to reviewing.
