I will also add that getting the right breakfast before your final is a important point. Please dont make the mistake of skipping breakfast so your able to get more study time. This will drain your brain of the crucial nutrients that your brain need to function.

In reference to “Reclaim wasted class time”: always bringing work from another class is a great idea at all times, not just finals week. If you’re going to leave a class to do homework, you might as well do your work in the class you should be in. You won’t get on facebook or be distracted by your phone (after all, you’re in class) and just sitting there, even if you don’t pay attention, is better than not being there at all. The amount of work I get done in class is astounding and when it comes time to study later, I pick up on things faster than I would normally because I’ve already seen or heard the material because I didn’t leave class.

The second thing I’d like to add is…

KNOW YOUR GRADES BEFORE YOU EVEN START STUDYING FOR ANY OF YOUR FINALS

This may or may not sound dumb. You want to do your best on every test, right? Well, yes, but this does not mean that every test needs the same amount of preparation. It’s great that you want to study as much as you can for your hardest class, but if you have a 75% in that class and the final is worth 25%, it’s unlikely that your grade will change as long as you pass the test. In other words, studying your ass off for an A is completely pointless if getting that A doesn’t change your grade. You want to study the most for classes in which you are on the border of an A/B or B/C, not the class that is necessarily going to be the hardest. Figure out where to invest your time and you’ll spend less time studying and you’ll get more out of it.
