Study Tips For Finals Week

By Hedrick Lepsch


One thing you learn quickly as a student is that time management is harder than passing organic chemistry. While some individuals are good at using their time well, many of us live life crisis to crisis.

If you want to stop cramming for accounting degree exam at the last minute, finishing that computer science degree poster at 3 a.m. or printing off the first and only draft of your English paper the day it is due, learning how to manage your time is essential. Sure, there is a perverse sort of thrill of working under a deadline, but working and studying in such a way is not healthy and hinders your ability to create your best work.

When studying for an exam, there are many things to keep in mind. Studying for hours on end without taking a break may seem like an effective studying method, but it tends to lead to distracted and ineffective studiers. On the other hand, excessive breaks with little to no studying in-between are also not very useful.

When we talk about organization it is really about sustainable organization because you can try and fail over and over until you just give up all-together.

Each person has their own most effective manner of study, and the best way to figure out yours is to try a lot of different approaches. Try studying in many different places, the library, a caf, a friend's house, or in your own apartment. If one of these ways is particularly effective, use that one, or if you like the variety, maybe it is best for you to switch it up.

Learn to prioritize your tasks by most important versus most urgent. If you accomplish tasks forever based on their urgency you will always be livening crisis to crisis. But if you learn to complete the tasks that are most important first you are less likely to be always running around like a chicken with its head cut off.

If you are your own worst taskmaster, it helps to be accountable to others. If you need help consistently completing homework on time consider getting a tutor, or a study buddy to be with you during your study time to help you keep on task.

To avoid becoming overwhelmed and overloaded with tasks learn to be realistic in how much you can actually accomplish consistently in one day. While it is good to challenge ourselves, sometimes our high expectations of ourselves put us in a corner. Don't unintentionally sabotage your time management goals by be expecting too much of yourself too fast. Give yourself time to learn, grow and make mistakes. Perfection is not expected the first time around.

Whether you are studying for a business degree, preparing for a career in business management, or preparing for a property management degree, or even a degree in physics, history, or education, studying effectively for finals will help you to do the best possible work. Find what works best for you, and do it. You won't be disappointed.
