Finals Week is almost here at UNT! For some, this may be a relatively easy semester, but for others, it may feel like the end of the world. Here is what I have learned while being in college that helps me to pass my finals and get the grades I want!

  1. Start Studying Early- Studying early relieves some of the pressure on you when it comes to studying, especially for more than one class. Give yourself the time to really go over the information so you learn it instead of just memorizing it

  2. Organize a Group Study Session- Sometimes, studying with others can help you gain a perspective about a lesson you never noticed before. Group study sessions also help me feel better in knowing that I am not the only one going through this stress. HOWEVER, MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT GET DISTRACTED!

  3. Take Breaks- Studying constantly may not always be beneficial for you; we need sleep and time to eat, too. Make sure to give yourself time to rest and even make some dinner for yourself, and don’t try to stay up too late.

  4. Go to Review Sessions!- Take the time and effort to go to class when the teacher is talking about what will be on the final. I know everyone is tired and wants the semester to be over, but these sessions could make or break your grade! 

  5. Remember you are not defined by your grades!- The grades you make in class DO NOT define who you are as a person! Try your hardest when studying for finals, but remember who you are aside from schoolwork and do not feel discouraged if you do not get that A in your class.

 

GOOD LUCK!!!!
