Exam Season Tips

As the end of the year approaches, so do finals, AP Tests, and final projects. Although studying is harder by the end of the year, since all anyone wants to do is be outside in the nice weather or with their friends, it is important to focus on your schoolwork and grades to make sure to end the year off right.

One study habit that I think is important and helps me get more done is to schedule breaks. For example, study or do your homework for about 45 minutes, then take a 10-minute break. This can help you not get overwhelmed and help you really focus on your work for 45 minutes, and then take a 10-minute break to help your brain rest, then you can get back to work.

Another thing that helps me study and get my work done is to hide my phone from myself. For me and many others, my phone can be a big distraction and keep me from getting work done. So now one helpful thing I do is either lock my phone in my safe and don’t allow myself to use it until I’m done with my work, or if that is too tempting, I give my phone to a trusted friend who won’t give it back until the end of study hall.

An important thing to remember is that, even though it is spring and most of us are not in season, make sure you still get plenty of rest and eat the right food. This can help ensure your brain is well-rested and will help you do better on your tests.

Remember, if you get stressed during your test, take a few minutes to focus on your breathing. Good luck in all finals!
