Finals Are Approaching

The school year is winding down and students are starting to stress over the last two weeks that we have left here at Prairie View A&M University (PVAMU). This is the most stressful time of the semester because students are trying to see what they could do to earn some extra credit in the course so that they could earn a decent grade in the class. Most students have procrastinated the semester because they were out enjoying the college life.  During the next two week of school the library and classes will be fill with people because of all the last minute quizzes, exams, essays, assignment, and projects need to be completed. Also, with that you have to have time to study for the test that you will have in these classes. It feels like towards the end of the semester is when you have the most work to be done in your classes. 

I am one of those students that does not have good study habits, so when it comes down to me testing I always study the day before my actual test. This may seem really bad but it works for me because I always end up with a decent grade on my test. YAY ME!!!! Honestly, I would not advice anyone to do that like me because that is not a good way to study for an exam. Here are some good study habits that should help:

1. A Good Study Place: studying anywhere is not good because there are lots of distractions. You should pick somewhere nice and quiet. This should be a peaceful environment (library, cafe' etc.).
2. Prioritize and Plan: if you do not have a plan on what day your exams or quizzes are then you are not in a good place. This is where you should keep up with all the test dates that you have approaching 
3. Make Flash Cards: using flash cards are very useful because they help you study for all this important information. You can use this to write definitions, key words, etc. 

These are some very useful tips to use when preparing for finals or even just a regular test. This is also a website to visit to help you with other studying tips http://opportunity.org/
