Finals week is coming for high schools, or ending if you are in college. It is probably one of the more difficult times of the year with numerous people really hoping that these final assessments of the semester. Here are three ways to stay focused for finals.
1. Listening to Music
Listening to music is a way to relax the brain from the amount of pressure you are facing during finals, but in order for listening to music while studying or doing work to be effective, you have to focus on what you are studying and not what kind of music that you are listening to. If you are doing a review packet, then listening to music would be appropriate, but reading a textbook is not a good time to listen.
2. Set a schedule for each subject
Finals is a long test for multiple subjects so the key to doing well on all of your finals is to set a schedule. Set a reasonable amount of time for each subject and make sure that you can follow it without any problems arising.
3. Have a proper sleep schedule
Sleeping well is important to doing well in any major assessments. Staying up until five in the morning will not help you do well on the test because by the time the test comes your brain will already be so exhausted from the amount of stress and not enough rest. In order to do well sleeping 7-8 hours a day is important because that is the minimmum amount of time for a teenager to have a healthy amount of sleep.
