Well over here it's 5:11 in the morning and I'm tired so I'll just leave it with one tip.
Don't cram it all in, in one night. Do a little bit each night(plan how much each night before hand) so that it's easier for it to stick. Use flashcards and then every once in a while, use the flashcards to see if you dont' know it. Being calm about it helps too.

ahh, finals. I hate them. Well, read your notes and form study groups. It always helps me if like i think of a funny way of remembering things. Like for vocabulary, i would make a rhyme for each word. Attempt not 2 cram, even tho i know i do cram. Spend free time studying.

What I do is I lock myself in my room, away from any disturbances such as the phone, the TV, and the computer. When you are memorizing something, try saying it out loud about 8 times. It takes this long for the brain to register new information.

Also, time management is an important tool for success in school. You have to organize your time wisely. You can't cram the night before and be FULLY prepared for a really hard final the next day. Start reviewing the weekend before, so the night before the test you don't need to study the whole thing. You can just skim through your notes to refresh your memory. Also remember to get lots of sleep and eat a nice breakfast before going to school. Nothing ruins a day like a blank mind [and stomach].

- never carm!
- go to a place where you can concentrate.
- know what materials are going to be on the test.
- don't let anything get in your way (T.V.)

Try not to cram, but don't think that the night before you shouldn't cram. You can learn a lot in those last few hours before an exam.

If you have an open book exam, index all of your notes and take in as much as you need in as little format as possible. You waste time searching for things in books if they're not easy to get to, right away.

Remember to take a break one an hour for about 5 to 10 minutes. It'll help to relieve stress and tension. Remember if you're writing or even typing notes to take a 30 second break every 10 minutes or so, so that your hands don't cramp and become sore before the exam ...

Only one tihng....

Everyone has their own unique way of studying. You have to find the best way to suit you.

I recommend study groups- they're lifesavers. (Just don't get distracted...)

Flashcards are brilliant ideas too.

Remember that cramming means you will forget most of it. Go with your first choice on the test if you get torn between two. Your first guess is usual the right one, in some cases.

And relax. Tackle this test head-on, and remember you can only do that if your brain is not over-working itself. Best of luck!

you can do many things study with firends or people who know whut you need help on, get a tutor or like a firend tutor like i have and just relax and dont be scared haha

honestly, flash cards are awesomely great and if you are a really tidy person, color coridnate them because it helps you remember with the colors. also, where bright colors when you're studying and when you take the test. the mind has a subconcious way of remembering things when facts are associated with other factors.
