So it's April, time for my final exams, I'm freaking out because I have four in a row, from today till saturday. I don't know how I can study properly and I feel like I haven't studied at all...any tips? I only need to get a 50% on each to pass the course with a 50 which sucks but still...not as bad as some people. My friend missed both midterms for our stats course so this exam is worth 95% of her mark while mine's only worth 50 or 60% (there's two types of schemes, whichever gives the better mark). I also have Cognitive psych today, social psych Friday, and then Behavioral and Cognitive Neuroscience Saturday so yeah, any help, MUCH APPRECIATED!

at this point theres not much you can do besides review basic concepts and sleep, make sure to sleep

Make sure to sleep, eat and maybe take a little time before each to relax a little bit.

What I do during exams is review for the one I have the next day and then go to bed early, study a bit more in the morning and then take an hour before the exam to chill.

It really helps me, but your mileage may vary.

My exams are pretty much 7pm each day, so I get a whole day, and then I get done around 10pm though so i can't study day before, but i can study up till like an hour before or so.

i'd say sleep but don't study all the way up to the exams as it may not sink in straight away

50% is a pass?

Pray? Lol, no try to study but remember to relax some too. Watch some TV or take a nap?

Here is my philosophy, if you don't know it by now it is too late. Coming up to finials I would go through my notes and condense them down to a single piece of paper. That is what I would study for the final exam. Then I would come up a note card of really import stuff. Starting about 15 minutes before the exam I would start reviewing it.

Also get a good night sleep so you are rested and leave plenty early. Nothing worse then traffic stressing you on the way to a exam.
