First off, I would like to apologize for my inconsistency as far as blogging goes. As you probably know (or have heard), college life can get pretty busy sometimes, so there came a point where I quit blogging for a while. However, now that the semester's over and I've been through my first round of college finals, I'd like to reflect and give you some pointers.
When it comes to finals, make sure to begin studying for them at least a week ahead of time, and try to study for each subject for a considerable amount of time each day before the final. You'll want to study more for the finals that are coming up sooner, but you'll still want to give each subject some study time every day. Studies have shown that studying materials over a long period of time will help you retain the information better.
As for other pointers, make sure to get lots of sleep and eat well (heck, just make sure you're eating). Proper hydration will also help boost your mental clarity and focus, thus improving your test scores.
A lot of college can't be known until you experience it. However, as far as finals go, that is about as much as I can tell you (and think of) for now.
Whether you're still in the college search or in the middle of your freshman year like I am, you can always keep these tips in mind as you go throughout your journey.
That's it for now. Happy New Year's!
