How do you study for final exams?
A great way to study for final exams is by using active recall and the process of elimination to identify which areas you need to review or re-learn.
- Schedule several study sessions with at least one day in between to create repetition and mental breaks, which will both improve your testing performance.
- Make a list of everything that will be on the exam, and make flashcards or practice questions for all of the important terms and concepts you need to remember.
- Go through your flashcards and practice questions without looking at your textbook. Each time you answer correctly, cross that item off your study list.
- Use active learning strategies to review what you missed. For example, take notes while you reread the textbook, draw a chart or mindmap, or write more flashcards.
- During the next final exam study session, answer questions or flashcards for the concepts you missed last time, and repeat the other steps until you’ve crossed everything off your study list.
- On the day before your test, go back through your flashcard pile or practice questions one more time from start to finish.
