Semester Exam week is always a stressful and trying time for
students. I am not looking forward to next week with all its tests and
long study sessions. I have to have a plan made this year because I have
a pretty difficult schedule. With AP Chemistry, AP US History, Physics, and
Pre-calculus I definitely need to study to ensure that I hold all A’s. In previous years, I have
studied hard for many finals, but have never really been worried that I was not
going to get a good grade. Freshman and sophomore years were not very
challenging and this year has been very different. I have been struggling
through advanced placement chemistry, and that is the one I will study most
for. This weekend will be the time when I write up all my study guides
and figure out how to best approach each exam. The worst part about this
year is that I actually have a written final in every class. This means I
will have to study for eight different tests. Of course, there is
a hierarchy of classes on my to do list. At the top is AP Chemistry
and Precalculus, my two lowest grades. After that I have Physics,
English, Spanish and AP US history. At the bottom of my study ladder is
band and general PE. For most of these classes, I will write myself a
study guide to review the information that I have learned. After this I
will review different types of problems if it is math or science. In
English I will probably review my sentence studies
and punctuation rules. I think
the worst part about finals week is that we are so close to Christmas
break. No one wants to be in school
anymore and it is hard to stay motivated and focused on the exams. With only a few days left before break, this
is the time that I need to be most focused.
