How to Study for Finals
Finals are the determinants for the achievement of student in any educational program. Final exams are fundamental in determining the achievement of students despite the challenges on how to study for the finals. Therefore, planning is necessary for alleviating the challenges of the study for finals.
The first step for planning on how to study for finals is to make a schedule. A student can make a schedule, yes, but it needs to be feasible and stick to all the guidelines stated in the schedule ADDIN CSL_CITATION {“citationItems”:[{“id”:”ITEM-1″,”itemData”:{“DOI”:”10.1007/BF01173772″,”ISBN”:”2161-4210″,”ISSN”:”2161-4210″,”abstract”:”“Circuits and Electronics” (6.002x), which began in March 2012, was the first MOOC developed by edX, the consortium led by MIT and Harvard. Over 155,000 students initially registered for 6.002x, which was composed of video lectures, interactive problems, online laboratories, and a discussion forum. As the course ended in June 2012, researchers began to analyze the rich sources of data it generated. This article describes both the first stage of this research, which examined the students’ use of resources by time spent on each, and a second stage that is producing an in-depth picture of who the 6.002x students were, how their own background and capabilities related to their achievement and persistence, and how their interactions with 6.002x’s curricular and pedagogical\ncomponents contributed to their level of success in the course.

It is recommended that a student figure out the number of days available for the study of the finals to distribute the days and time accordingly to ensure maximum achievement in the finals.
The next step is to select the best methods for studying for the finals. It has been proven that the read-recite-review (3R) is the most effective study method that a student can use when studying but it also needs to be systematic ADDIN CSL_CITATION {“citationItems”:[{“id”:”ITEM-1″,”itemData”:{“DOI”:”10.1007/BF01173772″,”ISBN”:”2161-4210″,”ISSN”:”2161-4210″,”abstract”:”“Circuits and Electronics” (6.002x), which began in March 2012, was the first MOOC developed by edX, the consortium led by MIT and Harvard.

Being systematic helps the students to remember the details even during the time of the final test.
Finally, there is a need to make a sample of the final. After going through all the information during the study, it is essential to make a sample of the last by formulating the types of questions that can be asked in the finals. While making the sample final, it is also important to think of the topics that the teacher might take so as the emphasis is placed on the topics. It is also at this time that it is necessary to review questions from the earlier tests. All these steps need to be included in a plan where time is allocated for every step before beginning to study for the finals.
