Final exams are approaching, and some of you might be wondering how to prepare. If you did well on your mid-term tests, then repeat what you did to prepare for them. Finals aren’t a lot different from mid-terms – they simply tend to cover more material, and are longer, some running up to three hours, versus the typical hour or hour and a half mid-term.
The extra volume of material and length of the exam can be tough on some students, but there are things you can do to prepare. Here is my top ten:
1. Get a good night’s sleep before the exam.
2. An absolute must if you can: get prior years’ exams and, with a small group of classmates, prepare point form sample answers to share among yourselves.
3. Review your notes to see all the items the professor indicated were important. In some cases, s/he might even have hinted at exam topics.
My husband and I have been renovating our house for 4 and a half years and our most recent project is the main bathroom. We have gutted the room and borrowed space so now we have a large main bathroom, but in the process we lost our laundry chute. It was a great old laundry chute that went right from the bathroom to a holding area in the laundry room. It was the catchall for everyone’s laundry, clothes they didn’t want to put away, toys and lost neighborhood children. Every week (almost) we would do heaps of laundry and get the kids involved in separating, folding and putting away laundry. We carefully reviewed the separation of whites and colours, hot and cold, empty pockets etc. It was a great and often painstaking group effort.
