The last set of finals for this year is approaching us this June 6, and students everywhere are beginning to dig through their old work and start those fifty-page study guides that have been sitting in their binders for weeks.

For upperclassmen, your study tricks might be down pat by now, but for those underclassmen that might not have a grip on the best ways to study for finals yet, here are some student’s personal best ways to study for finals.

“I just rewrite notes.” -Sydney Leonardi

“It’s helpful to have a review binder of all of your old materials.” -Katie Gilcrest

“I take everything from every class that I want to study with and organize it in a finals binder. Then I make a checklist per class of what I want to study like packets, certain units, memorization, etc, and then I’ll go to Starbucks the weekend before/the days leading up to the tests and keep checking things off the lists until I’m done.” -Haley Banta

“Don’t stay up and study, you’ll do better if you just sleep instead.” -Ingrid Falls

“I go to the library. It’s dumb lit there.” -Julia Hender

“I do all my review packets for my finals beforehand and ask my teachers any questions I have on them, and then the weekend before finals I re-do all of the review packets.” -Kerrigan Weston

“I don’t.” -Jacqueline Schlosser

“Water, the sun, music, and your thoughts.” -Caroline Murphy

“I find one classical music song that I like with no words and play it for 10 hours as I sit in my bed with all my papers lied out.” -Halle Douglass

“Praying, nothing more, nothing less.” -Lauren Plante

“45 minutes on, 15 minutes off.” -Frances Hickey

“Look over old tests and quizzes for things you might have missed then so you can review those topics for your final.” -Mary Considine

“I don’t at all, it always works.” -Luke Paschke

“Establish a spot at Starbucks at 7 a.m. on Sunday. You’ll be there for a while.” -Caroline Allard

“Separate your materials by the unit.” -Bridget Mitchell

“Redbull and 8-hour underwater white noise youtube videos.” -Elvan Muratoglu

“Don’t take a nap if you really have to study and reward yourself with a piece of candy every 5 or so problems. Also, study the process of doing something, not just the answer.” -Marissa Giangorgi

“Make your parents take your phone away.” -Alyssa Marquis

“Live at Tala! Or change location. If you are able to force yourself to pay attention by getting away from a location that is familiar, you will be able to focus more on studying.” -Lindsay Folker
