For most students, the end of the school year is at least two semesters away. While this may seem like a long time, finales and exams can sneak up on you. Thankfully, there are some ways you can prepare ahead of time, even months in advance. Below, the tutors at Mathnasium of Smyrna share three ways you can work towards those final tests in the coming weeks.

Get a Head Start on End-of-Year Test Prep With These 3 Tips

1. Make a Timeline

Many students don’t know where to start prepping for assessments that are so far away. That’s where planning comes in. Create a timeline noting the topics in each subject you’ll be tested on. Begin by reviewing the material you learned during your first two semesters. As the school year progresses and you garner new material, you can keep refreshing on past content while learning the new topics.

2. Take Excellent Notes

tutorWhen you’re sitting in class or reading your assignments, it’s crucial that you can remember the information you read or hear. The best way to do so is to take notes. Type them up and use bullet points so they’re easy to follow. This way you can use them later as valuable study tools when working with tutors or on your own. 

3. Note Your Weaknesses

When you’re closer to test time you may panic thinking about all the material you need to study. Avoid this unnecessary stress by making sure you have been working on the subjects and fields that you struggle with. Consider talking with tutors about your weaker areas so you will be better prepared when finals arrive.

With a little help from a study timeline, detailed notes, and some tutoring sessions in subjects you haven’t mastered, you’ll find the end-of-year test preparation process is easy and incredibly useful.
