Tips for studying during term break

Wake up early. Not as early as during school term - term break is not a time to be waking up at 6am daily - but not at noon either. Aim for around 8-10am, so you’re not sleepy af when you start work, and you haven’t slept half the day away.

Slacken a little. Don’t overwork yourself!! I find a good method is to restrain your studying time to within your normal school hours (8am-6pm for me - which gives plenty of time to relax and watch tv shows in the evening), and study for about 2/3 of that time. This way you’ll still have covered at least several hours of work, but won’t feel exhausted :) (oh yes, if possible review your notes before sleeping to make them stick)

Scheduling. Have a masterlist of tasks to complete/goals to achieve during the break. Work out a rough estimate on how many days are needed to do complete all you have to do, and spread your tasks out evenly, preferably by weeks. Remember to work around your dates with friends (or significant others)/vacations! Keep to your goals so you have more free days :)) 

Study groups. During breaks it’s much much easier to arrange study sessions with friends. It’ll feel a lot less like you’re wasting your break, and you can catch meals with them before/after/during your session, so you’ll enjoy your study days more.

Go out/invite in/chill. It’s term break!!! Go out with your friends/get them to come over!! Or if you prefer having some alone time, have the day to yourself. At least 1 every 4 days, more if possible! If you’re part of a group activity that trains frequently, this can be skipped, but shouldn’t be.

“I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.”          – Confucius 

it’s that time of year.  finals! death!!  but deep breaths, we got this.

finals week calendar

use to plan your days leading up to the dreaded finals.  fill in the appropriate dates and mark down which days your finals are as well as any big events, study sessions, appointments, or major tasks you need to remember.  decorate however you want!

[ blank calendar | quote 1 | quote 2 | quote 3 | quote 4 ]

subject review sheet

make a list of the major topics to be covered for each of your finals, then rate your level of comfort with each topic on a scale of 1 - 5.  how are you going to study each topic?  (here’s some suggestions from @joolshallie!)

[ black & white | mint | baby blue | coral | lavender ]

subject checklist

use to make a list of all the things you want to do to review each subject, like rereading certain chapters, going to office hours, or making vocab cards.  hint: halfway through the list, write down a reward.  once you accomplish all the tasks above it, you get your treat!

[ black & white | mint | baby blue | coral | lavender ]

weekly planner

finals week is crazy!  use this to plan out each day.  write the main priority of the day in the top box and then mark down what you want to study when, any events or meetings you need to remember, and time for yourself and friends.  you got this.
