Here's what I do:\n\nStart studying asap\nMake a calender for the last few weeks and be anal about planning\nPlan for study time, work/class, as well as some relaxing time (get lunch with friends, tan, draw...)\nDon't party the night before finals (maybe this is a "duh" but some people do)\nEat a good breakfast the morning of your final and get plenty of sleep BUT don't eat much more than you normally do or sleep too much (maybe it's just me but that totally throws me off)\nDon't worry too much about finals, know that you've studied and are competent enough to figure things out even if the answer isn't obvious right away\n\nGood luck :)

Write notes and make diagrams of your notes. Don't just read - you will fall asleep! You could also think of possible questions and come up with your own model answers. This you could do with a friend as long as it's a friend who isn't too distracting! Good luck with your exams!

Make a revision plan about 6 months before a major exam and start reviewing one topic at a time from then.\nI feel envious of people who just perform well in exams without much real effort (so they say). The rest of us mortals have to follow the revision plan and cover everything as well as possible  in advance of the big day.

Go to somethig like drweil.com and look at breathing exercises.  They will REALLY help you if you let them.\n\nThen, spend this weekend studying.  I suppose that's obvious, but knowing that you're as prepared as possible will take a load off your shoulders.\n\nGet lots of sleep and eat a good protein-based breakfast on the mornings of your exams.  This will help prevent sugar-crashes that you can get just eating something like cereal for breakfast.  A little caffeine throughout the day can help you stay awake and feel sharper.\n\nGood Luck with finals!

My best trick when I was in college was to study one thing for 15 minutes at a time, take a 2 minute break and then start a new subject, cycling though everything till I was done.. that way my attention span didn't wear out in time for me to not grasp what I was studying and the small breaks helped get me refreshed for the next subject.\nGood luck!

i'm a student too, have focus on your studeis, less your leisure time,and night out.. Its natural to give extra time and effort to harder subjects until you are use to it...its an effort to succeeed, you know.....then if you hurdle that struggle, its very satifying, very fulfilling that you did succeed. study in advance ,. Ask the help of your professor if you can understand or any person understand the subject you are studying.. Where to get that extra time... Subject s you think is easier for you less your time there... Extra books borrow from friends of your senior or take out a library book in school..... I hope I have given you helpful ideas.. Good luck !

Eat foods other than pizza as the greasy liquid substance on the pizza will rot your brains, thus keeping your mind thinking of only pizza all the time instead of your grades.\n\nBasically just concentrate and decide that you are going to push forward and really do good in your classes.  Do all of your homework and take the time to put effort and thought into it.  If you have a question that is a yes or no question, answer beyond that on your homework as this will help you to understand the class a lot better.  If you get something wrong on a test or homework, ask your teacher why it's wrong and have them explain their answer.  The more you understand your classes, the better chance of getting good grades.

set your goal...., also, try to join a study club with group friends, always keep your goal in mind, heartfully try to reach it, treat yourself sometimes while you got some great point in study, balance your time: study, relax, ... thinking things easy going on..., good you luck!

Do your homework with the TV or radio off and have as few distractions as possible so you get it done faster! The faster you finish, the more time you'll have to hang out!!! Wohoooooooo

First of all, take a deep breath.  Then, set your alarm clock and take a nap if you need one - even just for an hour or so, and then the studying you do after that will be much more effective.  When you wake up have a quick shower, and a snack - your brain needs both sleep and food to operate well.  If coffee works for you, continue with that and a small snack every hour or two.  \n\nTry to focus on the information you know is very important and will almost certainly be on the exam, because you won't be able to do everything.  Review your notes.  Do you know someone who is taking the same exam tomorrow that you could possibly study with for a few hours?  That might help.  And do get at least some sleep tonight - it will help you.  And remember that this too shall pass, and most likely everything will be fine!  Good luck with it!!

Go to every class unless you are Deathly sick. If you miss one class..you get behind and it's hard to catch up.Don't wait till the last minute to do your papers, homework, etc. Always plan in case of an emergeny --don't cram..you don't learn a lot when you cram. Go to bed early..sleep well..It helps in your studies..you don't fall asleep while you are reading

Well I am not exactly the best one to answer this one, because trust me I got my final exams from the 18th of this month and here I am answering questions on preventing procrastinating. LOL!! But here's my advice. Go ahead, select someone else !\nTake the task, break it out in small parts and allocate specific times for that. Allow times for your meals and some kind of entertainment. Once that is done, be very particular to follow that rigorously. I mean when u allocate 10 mins for music, stop it after 10 mins dun go beyond that. I know it is difficult and we lose track of time when we love something. But atleast for the time period u have to follow it. There is no-one or one thing which can motivate urself, but urself. You have maintain the balance. Its very important. \nBest of luck to you, and i expect best of luck from you to me as well.\nLOL !!

get a planner...write down all your assignments before they are due...make note cards to help you study...take notes in the margins of your books...(if you bought the books)...get a notebook for each class...write the title of the class, the day, and time on the front of the notebook...get a calendar and write down the dates and times of your finals ahead of time so there are no surprises...just stay focused...don't try to do too many things at once...take 20 minute study breaks and do something fun...then get back into it...you shouldn't study for more than an hour for each subject...take breaks and come back to it...if you have a test study right before you go to sleep and then don't think about it anymore...hope these tips help...

You need to read it, say it, highlight it.  That way you are using every part of your brain.  Plus going to class also helps!
