I can not believe it is already time for final exams. It feels like we just started the semester. I did not even realize how much I learned in my classes until, I began reviewing my notes to see what I had to study for my final exams. It turns out, I have at least five full pages of typed, single spaced notes for each class, on an average. It did not feel like that much information as the year was going on.
My plan of action is simple: first, I will condense the pile of notes I have into outlines or, study guides, with information that I think, hope, will be on the exams. They will be quick things to remember and things that I always seem to forget. I would love to keep the outline limited to only one page long. I know that will be very hard to do but, it is possible. Once the outines are made, and most likely color coded, I will read and re-read the material until I memorize it. 
Next, I will make flashcards, I love flashcards. I don’t know why but, they work the best for me. I think it is because it is more interactive and they allow me to question, challenge and test myself. I even have a flash card app on my phone. So, obviously, I will turn my outlines into flashcards. In a weird way, I am looking forward to making and using my flash cards. The material may not be fun but, the challenge is.
I have already started reviewing for my finals. I am not too stressed and, for a change, I feel like I am on top of things. Don’t get me wrong, I am very nervous about the tests, but I feel like I will be prepared. Luckily, I have five days in between my final exams so, I have a lot of time to study for each exam. With this plan, I hope it will all be fine.
