This is going to be somewhat of a general post since the topic is a tad bit wide. Anyways, I think (and hope) that you are all aware of the fact that we have finals this week. After searching a couple of articles about how you can study for your finals and what makes studying easier, I think I have somewhat of a gist of it.
DOs
1. SLEEP
a. You perform better when properly rested
2. Reread your notes, practice on whatever subject you struggle on.
3. Have confidence
4. If you’re studying for a new concept (Chapter 6) then practice on a single section and repeat it until you get all the answers correct.
5. Prepare yourself mentally.
6. Eat healthy
a. Junk food can damage your concentration and memory
7. Choose where you study wisely
a. A quiet, orderly place is most likely the best
b. A peaceful environment will help your concentration
DON'TS
1. Do not just re-read the entire text book.
a. It’s a waste of time
b. You’ll most likely not retain that information
c. Read the chapter summaries
d. Re-read notes
e. Look at charts, pictures, diagrams, and other visual tools.
2. Do not procrastinate.
a. Start studying early and do it often.
3. Do not stress yourself.
a. Take time to rest.
b. You’ll learn more efficiently with breaks in between your studying.
I also have two other things to share~
the first one is a step-by-step how to that shows how it’s possible to pull an all-nighter before a test but still do well.

~I don't recommend this, I just thought it was interesting.
And the second one is a list of common mistakes that can lower your test scores.

I don’t pick a scribe right? Darn it >//<.
~The dos and the don'ts were in separate charts that were...easier to read, but it all disappeared when I moved it away from the Word document D: ~
