If you’re seeking strategies for making it through final exams, you may want to spend some time this weekend (and then every Sunday until the semester is over) to develop a very specific weekly calendar and schedule each hour (or half hour) to include lectures, labs, work, extracurricular activities, social time, intense study sessions, grocery shopping, laundry and sleep time — just about everything you do. These calendar items are appointments you commit to keeping.
This calendar should include sessions of intense self-testing/study time for each class of the day and preparation for upcoming exams. Writing notes verbatim or passively reading notes or viewing presentation slides are the opposite of intense study/self-testing.
