Finals are coming up for my first semester as a college
student and I do not know what to expect. I do not know what to study or what
type of questions they are going to be. I am curious as to if the finals I took
in high school are equivalent to the finals I am going to take in college or if
all the preparation I did in high school wont help me prepare myself for
finals.
I only have
one written test as a final and the test is in history. My professor gave us a
study guide that I help to make a sheet of notes that I need to study. After
going through my notes and writing down the things that are going to be on my
final I made flash cards. I learn better by speaking out loud so when I read
what is on the front of the index card I say the back out loud. Not only am I
saying the answer but I am also hearing it.
I like to
study a couple cards at a time to drill the information into my head instead of
doing all the cards at a row. I learn better by repetition so I have to look at
the same notes over and over again until I know it. I do not listen to music
because to many things going on at once will distract me.
Another way
that I am going to study for finals is by making inquiry questions for myself
that I think I can see on the final. I would write the question on the front of
the index card then will answer the question out loud. My friends are in the
same class as me so we are all going to study together as well. We are all
going to make questions up for each other and take a practice test that we have
made in order for all of us to achieve greatness on our final test.
