Study Plan

Final Exam Study Plan

　

For this year's final English exam, I have developed a good strategy to help me prepare for the exam. I assigned certain specific things to review even past notes from the 1st semester. I have realized that it is important to go back over past assignments, and test corrections. There are dead days coming up as well which is a big plus but I still am going to keep the same plan.

　 Things that I think that everyone should take in consideration:
-Don't cram so much to study in one whole day
-Review notes that are beneficial to you
-Go to your teachers or advisors for help
-Go to as many study tutorial sessions as possible -Try to review as many test as possible because there are some things from the previous test that have a high likely hood of being on the exam
