The following is a study check list!
Check off each part as you complete it.
Ideally, this list should be started at least 10 days before your final!!

(If you have a lot of trouble areas, you'll need to start sooner.)

1) GET ORGANIZED:

• Gather up all exams (and solution sheets or solutions given in class)
• Gather up all homework
• Gather up all class notes
• Gather up all flash cards

2) FIND TROUBLE AREAS:

• Look through each exam...
• Write down all problems that you didn't get the majority of credit on (i.e. problems that you didn't just get 1 or 2 points off for a boo-boo)

3) RELEARN! - (focus on trouble areas):

• Rework class examples for these problems
• Redo homework for these problems
• Get tutoring, if needed
• Go to teacher's office for help, if needed

4) OVERVIEW STUDY:

• Write down all exam questions (without solutions) on a few sheets of paper
• Read all exam solutions (along with the original problems, of course)
• Glance through class notes and read what you don't remember off the top of your head
• Read through all flash cards

5) TEST YOURSELF:

• Retake the exams, working from the questions you copied (you may want to do this in a couple of chunks!)
• Grade yourself using the solution sheets (or your solution notes from class)

6) INTENSE STUDY - (focus on the problems you missed in step 5):

• Rework examples from class notes
• Redo homework
• Go through all flash cards until you know themcold

7) WRAP-UP:

• Look through all exams (and solutions) again
• Look through class notes again
• Look through flash cards
• Relax and just do your best!
