     In the life of a university student, the final week of a semester could be the most stressful period due to exams. You can, however, start early preparation from this week. The following steps could guide you in scoring high points in your exams.

     The first step: Create your own study guide. While teachers provide a study guide, creating your own can help you understand the material better. Outlining the important information you need to learn can be helpful, both in creating and to refer to during your studies.

    The second step: Ask questions. Ask your teachers and professors questions regarding the material and the exam so that you are prepared when the exam time arrives.

     The third step: Always start early. If you always start ahead of schedule, you will never be cramming the night before an exam. You will almost always perform better by doing so.

    The fourth step: Stay well-rested. There is a lot to be said about a good night's sleep. Make sure you are well-rested so that you can be fully focused during your exams.

    The fifth step: Study for the style of exam. If it is multiple choice, you will need to know definitions and concepts. For essay exams, focus on your understanding of all the concepts presented, with examples in mind.

    The sixth step: Quiz yourself. If you think about and create actual exam questions, you will likely become more familiar with what you need to study and, in the meantime, familiarize yourself with the type of language that will be on the exam. Draft potential exam questions and quiz yourself so that you can set expectations of what you need to focus on.

    The seventh step: Visualize. It is helpful to create mind maps or diagrams to visualize how the concepts you are learning relate to one another. This is especially beneficial when learning concepts that build upon the understanding of one another, like in science courses.

    The eighth step: Make it fun. It is easier to focus if you adapt to studying by quizzing yourself, creating acronyms or rewarding yourself for a job well done. Create a game plan- literally- that allows you to accomplish tasks and be rewarded for each. For instance, why not reward yourself with a piece of chocolate or a sip of your coffee after you have accomplished a new chapter and so on.

The strategy and style to use in preparing for final exams is a personal choice, however, the baseline here is for you to start NOW! Good Luck.
