FINALS!!!

Who the hell else has them, and does anybody have advice on how to cram for this? I got a 300 Q bio final tomorrow, and I know barely anything.

I have finals too...the best thing to do is to study little by little over a long period of time. If you dont have a lot of time, go over key areas for 15 minutes....take a break then go over it again. Instead of cramming it all in your brain, just go over key words and phrases.
Studies show that it takes about 7 times of seeing, reading, or hearing information before you remeber it.

Thanks, comrade. I owe you.

yeah... i had finals back at the end of may.

but as for studying, well, the first step is to log off ns.

go somewhere where you won't be distracted.
try re-writing the information, make outlines of the material.

as for biology, there is so much info in it you have to remember... just make flashcard of names, things, ideas, stuff like that.
rewriting things often helps.

go over your notes, too, and hi light key terms, facts, things.

good luck.

I never studied for finals, and usually I did just fine.

Me too, but I'm failing this bio class and I need a high grade to pull out to a passing. And by barely knowing anything, I don't think I know enough to pull me to a C- at the least...

Studying for an extended period, for me, is not a good idea. 30 or so minutes is max, just do this repeatedly and try, in the mean time, to do activities where at least some of the knowledge covered is useful.

yeah, bio was my hardest class too.
it didnt help that my teacher was really awful..

well, best of luck to you.
best you get started?

its a good idea just to do a hardcore amount, in short doses. then refresh it a few times.

what i said earlier.

yeah
