Finals Are Coming Soon, Better Start Preparing!
By: Thomas Hennessy
Now that the state tests are finishing, it’s time to start preparing for something that will actually affect your grade: finals. For us middle schoolers, the finals are from June 17 to June 22. Unfortunately for the fifth graders, they have to stay after the tests, while the 6th, 7th, and 8th graders get to go home. (Woo hoo!) It is best to start preparing for the finals now because you really don’t want to be scrambling the day before.
Tips for Preparing for Finals
- Study a little bit everyday: Go over everything that you learned from the beginning of the year, to what you’re doing now, to get a fresh memory of everything.
- Separate your studying: It is best not to study all of your subjects together or do it for a long time, which will cause your brain to become baffled. Separate your studying by subjects, and make sure to not to do it for a long period of time. I recommend studying about 5-10 minutes every day.
- Don’t stress: It is better to not get worked up over these tests, which will cause you to do worse than what you’re capable of.
