- Get organized!!! - Make a study schedule for the two-week period before exams begin to avoid cramming for any exams. Determine which class(es) may need the most attention and prioritize your time.
- Make a to-do list each day. - Put academics first during this time; less distractions = greater success!
- Eat well and get adequate sleep. - Use stress-management strategies like exercise, sports, and family time to de-stress.
