Hey guys!
This one goes out to my fellow high-schooler's, the ones of us who have that dreaded word"finals."
If your anything like me than you are starting to or already have gone into panic mode over this. I mean who doesn't? One test is over half our grade for the year ,if you ask me that's a pretty good reason to stress, however never fear because I have a few study and test taking strategies to share with you that have really helped me :)
1) Talk to your teacher, they love to help you and might even be willing to schedule a private study session to help prepare you so don't be afraid to reach out!
2) A study strategy I always use is note taking, writing out key concepts etc into a notebook puts those notes into a different format which secures the information in your brain in an entire new way ,you can also type the notes as well in order to accomplish the same thing.
3) Make a study plan ~ you can plan out when to study for each class so you don't feel overwhelmed and this also keeps it more organized and helps you to be less flustered.
4) Study for certain amounts of time and than take a break to help your mind relax and not become once again overwhelmed. The amounts of time will vary depending on you and your schedule.
5) Listen to music, while this doesn't work for everyone it has really helped me to play some of my favorite music on low volume in the background.
6) Now onto the final itself, enter the test with a positive mindset, if you think positive you a re much more likely to succeed.
7) Avoid un-needed pressure and set goals that are realistic.
8) Don't think of previous exams that may have gone badly, just focus on the current test and try your best that is all anyone expects of you.
9) Lastly have confidence! If your confident that you know the material than your anxiety will go down and your more likely to have a positive testing experience.
10) Good luck! :)
