How do I get through these last two finals?

I was the same way- I kind of waited til the last minute to study- even for finals, but yet, somehow I ended up a doctor- I'd go somewhere - not a library- but somewhere you are comfortable- I chose a late night cafe when it wasn't crowded or a super market that had a dining area that wasn't crowded - you have everything at your disposal but the distractions are much less- I even studied for my boards the same- I know its not too specific- but I hope it helps!\nThere's not too much you can do at this point but go over notes or study the books, but this is the best advice I've got!

just study, study, and study. write up some notecards to make into flash cards, and keep referring to it. \nps, why did you wait so long to study? last minute studying doesn't normally work. you need repetitiveness to make it count on tests.

Hey Sneha, I have exams too... whenever you feel really pressured, just remember that you're not the only one, there are lots of others taking exams too, and you're not alone. Take short breaks in between studying and do something else where you don't require much thought, even if it just means closing your eyes and relaxing for 10 mins. Eat and drink healthy. And last, but not least, remember that in the event that you don't do as well as you thought you would, it's not the end of the world. Don't let this thought stop you from working hard this time, but remember, there's always a next time! Good luck!

First find out why you are not doing well in your exams. Is it .'cos you didn't prepare well for the exams, or you simply apply the wrong study approach? Or find out which subjects you are doing poorly. \nIf it's the former one, then I strongly suggest you study 2 weeks before the exams. Spend 2 hrs a day studying in a quiet environment and exercise, eat and sleep well daily. Avoid alcohol and late night outings if possible. \nIf it's the later one, then I strongly suggest you seek tutoring help, either from your teachers or friends. I believe we all have talents and some intelligence. It's a matter of discovering and cultivating them in order to become a successful person in this world. Remember Albert Einstein was not a good student in his junior years. He practically failed most of his tests and was less than an average student. But as we all know today who he is, and what he had accomplished and achieved in his later life. So if you are serious, put your mind to it and the end result will speak for itself. Remember there's always a light at the end of the tunnel!

How about you stop screwing around on Yahoo answers and start studying?  I'd say it's about time you locked yourself in your room and do some real reading of the course materials.  Ask someone in your class for some notes on lectures you missed. \n\n\nAre you still reading this?  Get to work, slacker!!!

I don't know but I feel you pain, I am about to write my last final of the term tomorrow morning, they do suck but I have come up with a technique that helps me; I get all of the notes I took through out the semester and consdense them into a few pages and read them before the exam this way you refresh your memory while you condense them and while you read them but its not like your trying to memorize so its easier and less stressfull.

Try some yoga or just breathe. Take it slow and start a study regime. Do things at a specific time and don't go off it. Feel confident that you know the info. . Whenever you don't know an answer go with your gut feeling. Take deep breathes whenever you feel like you're going to fail.\nGood luck and just breathe.

You are in the avoidance behavior mode now. If you can't pull the weight, don't stretch yourself trying to pull it. It will get only worse. Forget about jogging, working out, club activities, etc. Your main priority is your grades, so concentrate on them. Try to do the best you can for now to catch up on the material. And in the next semester concentrate completely on classes only. You are in class from 8 to 4. Your study time will be from 7 to 10 every day (11 to 4 on weekends). You do not do anything else until you graduate. Become a class president on the last semester before your graduation.

coupla tips...\n1.prepare a rough booklet of important facts,formulae,tid bits of information-in NO paricular order,include rough diagrams and calculations if any on the side.for last minute prep.\n2.study in the right environment,at a study table.sit for two hours straight then take half hour breaks.\n3.go to your library and take copies from reference books.library books explain it better than the teach's notes.\n4.get plenty of rest before the exam,discuss stratedgies wid your friends and all luck!

Take a short break. Walk in the garden. Take a few deep breaths and you will be ready to study more. God luck with studying. It is not that bad!

Dont be too hard on yourself. I've gone through this problem myself. Everytime it's exam time, I get really stressed out and think I wont do well.\nI know it's difficult to stop worrying about it especially when people have alot of expectations from you. Have a little faith in yourself and in God (if you believe in Him). Maybe your friends are going through the same thing. Talking to them could help. Or talk to your parents about how you are feeling. Take a break for a few hours and listen to some music or watch a movie to get your mind of things for a while.\nTry to get a good sleep. If you have been studying the whole year, then you are probably well prepared. Keep your options open, in case you dont get through. There's always a second time. But dont worry.\nYou have been working for it, so hopefully you will get through!\nBest of luck!

Make a revision plan about 6 months before a major exam and start reviewing one topic at a time from then.\nI feel envious of people who just perform well in exams without much real effort (so they say). The rest of us mortals have to follow the revision plan and cover everything as well as possible  in advance of the big day.

1. Eat Right (Don't Skip Meals)\n2. Organize (don't just reread notes) create outlines from your notes & readings, organize the raw material you've collected all semester (this process in and of itself is a form of study)\n3. Study - again not just rereading, try testing your self (make up questions or see if your texts have questions at the end of chapters etc.)\n4. Sleep - staying up late cramming won't help it will actually decrease your ability to test well.  So get to bed and get some sleep\n5. Take a walk before the test, get the blood flowing and clear the mechanism (so-to-speak) this will help you.\n6. The standards (your first instinct answer is almost always right, but always go back and check your answers, make sure you read the question correctly, answered all parts of it etc.)\n7. When you finish a test, put it out of your mind (again, exercise can help you here) and move on to the next one.  Stressing over the result of a test that is finished can effect how well you do on the ones you haven't yet taken.\n\nGood Luck

You certainly do need help.  These are obviously finals questions for human physiology.  If you are coming here for your answers instead of cracking your text books you are actually beyond help.
