- Give yourself
plenty of preparation time. Some students start up to two weeks
before finals. Some classes will take longer to study for than
others.
- Manage your
time well, it will limit stress.
- Stay healthy;
eat well; make time to exercise. These will all help you to focus
and relax.
- If you have
more than three finals in the same day, talk to your professor/TA
about a make up time.
- Use any
study guides available.
- Do a final
review the morning of the exam so the information is "fresh" in
your mind.
- Manage your
studying. Give all your classes their fair share.
- Develop
questions off of the study guide. Try to think like your professor.
- Attend review
sessions. Bring a list of at least one question you have to the
session.
- Join a study
group.
- Take managed
study breaks.
- Recognize
how you study i.e., Do you need lots of breaks, or can you get
away with a few?
- Set multiple
alarms the morning of the exam. If you miss an exam, you can't
make it up for oversleeping.
- Be respectful
of others during finals. Be aware that residence halls are quiet
during finals.
- Arrive early
to the exam. You want to have enough time to get there and get
settled to take your exam.
- Your final
exam may be held in a room that is different from your regular
classroom. Check your syllabus or contact your professor/TA if
you are uncertain where or when your final is.
- Take time
off from work to study, if you think you will need it.
- Remember
to bring extra pens, pencils, and your MSU ID.

your exams are cumulative or a regular exam.

what you need to study.
