Just thought I'd make a thread for folks to share studying strategies for this semester's final exams. Feel free to contribute if ya like...Regardless of how you study or when you study (night before vs. 3 weeks prior)...good luck on finals exams!!!
Helpful Tips (in case you're interested):
1) For bio classes...I've just memorized lecture notes/slides and did the assigned reading. I wrote down everything I remembered after going through a set of lecture notes/slides and this has tremendously helped my retention of the material.
2) For O-chem...2 words..flash cards...I also recommend getting L.G. Wade's Organic Chemistry textbook in case your university uses another one (McMurray, Vollhardt&Schore, Carey, Loudon, etc). Using Wade's book in conjunction with the one assigned by my school (vollhardt&schore) has helped me a LOT. Feel free to bounce around your own O-chem study stratgies.
3) For math/statistics courses...I just do a few practice problems from each section covered during the course.
With a few days left, how are you guys coping? I got a little studying in during thanksgiving break and I'm definitely ready to put this semester behind me. This has been a grueling semester, but also VERY rewarding in more ways than I could have possibly imagined. Once again, best of luck to everyone!
