Exam season is a stressful time for students, but having study tools, a study plan and specific goals helps to ease anxiety.
It is important to utilize all available resources when studying for exams. Each teacher has used different websites, text books or had note-taking opportunities in class, so using these resources is a helpful way to review. If there seems to be a lack of available study tools, ask the teacher or use approved, online materials. Some websites students like are Khan Academy, Badger Link and Quizlet.
Having a study plan is a great way to ensure success on final exams. According to Cornell University, it is smart to make a five-day study plan. To craft, figure out what you need to know, make sure to review and start in advance. Be sure to plan out breaks to prevent becoming overwhelmed.
By making specific goals, the work put into studying will be more fulfilling. For example, making a goal of studying 2 hours with no phone will help you focus and leave you with feelings of satisfaction. According to Forbes, goal setting guides focus and promotes self-mastery. It is way better to be goal-oriented, rather than “wing it,” like Liv Guadano, senior, said.
Hopefully, these study tips will prove helpful during this upcoming exam season. Good luck, Arrowhead.
