Try lighting scented candles. Lavender is supposed to be very calming. Take a relaxing bubble bath the night before your exam while playing relaxing music. Exercising can also help take your mind of your exam since you should be focused on performing the exercise thoroughly. Try watching a funny movie, laughter can help take your mind of it. Try reading a short book (fictional) unrelated to what your study. It could even be one of your favorite books as this will put you in a good mood if you know you already like what your reading. If you make a list of the major points in your exam and just say them out loud before you do all the things i mentioned above it will help give you confidence because you will that your prepared.  Hope this helps.

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.

go over anything you are most unsure of first.\nwrite out your notes again and reread as many times as you can.\nif you need to know diagrams, practice drawing and labelling them without your books.\ntake a break for ten minutes every hour to let your mind relax.\nsleep when you are tired as overdoing it will not work, you'll be too tired to think in your exam.\ni did this two weeks ago and it worked really well, exam went like a dream!! \nbest of luck, take it in your stride, repeat to yourself "i can do this" positive mental attitude.

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.

One of my professors told me this. He said to study for your exams during the day. If you have an exam on Friday, study Wednesday, sleep well on Thursday, and then study a little more on Friday before the test. This is supposed to help refresh you. If you're going through exam week, do the same thing, just try to focus harder on your studying. Don't stress too much, though. I took a final last year and I was so worried that I cried and stayed up studying all night. I made a 100 on my final, but I was so sick from my nerves. As long as your study for at least two hours and you do your best, you're probably going to do fine.

The best advice is to get lots of sleep before going in to the exam.  It's too late to try to learn it now.

Focus, concentrate and put your priorities in order.  If you have finals to study for, get away from the leisure stuff and get motivated to get a good grade.  Your education is important and when you accomplish your good grade , reward yourself to some fun and down time.  Do well and you will feel good about yourself.

When you're going into finals, you probably already have all the school supplies you'll ever want to look at!! Since it's such a stressful time, you may want to focus on giving items that will help a student relax and destress after a day of studying, or items that will make her life easier since her schedule's full of studying and leaves little time to do 'other' things. I suggest the following items:\n\n1. Hot chocolate powder or a special type of Coffee: Can relax w/ the hot chocolate, but the coffee will help her stay awake and if it's a special flavour (French Vanilla is great) it'll be a nice treat.\n\n2. Homemade cookies: Friends of mine who live on rez or off campus and alone always tell me how much they miss the taste of home-cooked items. Store-bought, pre-packaged food starts to get pretty depressing after a while!\n\n3. Toiletries: Shopping for basic hygiene items becomes a secondary concern when you're studying for finals. Throw in toiletries--but make it personal so it's not just a run-of-the-mill impersonal box of bathroom supplies Put in a bottle of fruity shampoo, a nice bottle body spray with a scent you know she'll enjoy, creamy soaps, a package of the 'expensive' kind of toilet paper, a new extra soft towel etc.\n\n4. Personal CD: If you know her well, make her a personal music cd. Create a mix of songs she'll like and it'll add a nice personal touch to the whole package. \n\n5. Package of new socks: Believe me, you run out of time to do laundry and end up going to class with holey socks! A new pack of socks will make her smile. \n\n6. A long-distance phone-card: so she can call you when it's convenient for her!\n\n7. A letter: filled with words of encourgement and support--it's always such a spirit booster when you receive sincere words of support from a friend--it's something you definitely need when facing the stress of finals.\n\n8. A stuffed animal: what girl doesn't want something to cuddle??\n\nHope this helps you out!!

Take a note of what you studied in simple terms. When you see those few tips what all you read must come to your mind. Keep many such notes. Go through them when you are free. Even sitting in a park observing the dogs play with a ball you can review these niotes.\nPRACTISE MAKES PERFECT.\nAFTER FOUR FIVE TIMES YOU WILL REMEMBER THEM ALL AND FAST AND QUICK.

If you studied well, take a few hours off to rest.  Be sure to eat a nutritious healthy meal before you go in for the exam, breathe in deep when you sit at the exam table and get your question paper to help you relax, then calmly read the questions, take the questions one by one starting with the topics you know best and answer them to the point (no waffle and) in clear and legible language, use technical words whenever possible, and move on to the best.  Don't pause except to have a sip of water if you are allowed, and when you are through, don't forget to read through them one more time for a final check.  good luck

I already went through my finals a week ago. I know that waiting for test and beginning term papers can be like torture. I'm like you, I like to get my work in early, that way I stress about it less. If you feel confident, then take the test early, plus I think professors see this as you caring about your grades.\n\nJust take a break somewhere nice, like go to park (I go shopping for a few hours). Remember to rest your eyes, and try not to lose sleep over your worry, because that will make things worse. \n\nSometimes the stress of college is all about preperation and planning.\n\nGood luck and I hope you pass :O)

Pay attention through the entire course, then when finals come, it will be more of a refresher, than learning everything at once. Begin studying a week or two early. I find flashcards very helpful, though they may sound childish. Happy studying!
