The Best Last Minute Study Hacks

It's mid December and the Fall semester is coming to a close finally!! The only thing standing in our way are tests. Every semester, I always wait until the very last minute to start studying for finals. No matter how much I tell myself I should or will try and study harder, it never happens. I've always been this way and it's such a bad habit to get into, but over the years I've learned to deal with my procrastination and still be able to pass my tests.

Tips for last minute studying:

Get more sleep: if you're a procrastinator, it's likely that you're up pretty late trying to study the night before an exam. I can function without a lot of sleep, but the more rested you are, the better you'll do on exams.

Do what works for you: some people learn best from making flash cards (like me!) and some people learn and retain more from writing things over and over. Whatever your shtick is, do that. Wasting time on trying to study from something that you know isn't going to help will just make you more stressed.

Memorization strategies: sometimes certain topics just don't stick in your brain. If this is the case, trying to create a way to memorize the topic can help. Create acronyms for words you do know so that on the day of the exam, you can write the acronym down on the test paper and remember it.

Sign up for Luvo Learn: I wish more than anything that I had this study tool years ago rather than just finding it in my senior year of college. No matter what subject you're trying to cram to remember, Luvo Learn has it!

It gets even better: if you're a pro in a certain subject and have already aced your final, you can upload your study guide(s) that you used to make some quick, extra cash! This is something I'll definitely be doing for a Finance course I just finished - the professor I had was amazing and after learning so much, I definitely want to be able to help other people ace the course too. Making extra money just by helping students by sharing my notes is amazing!

You can search Luvo Learn by your school, by courses (like History 101) or by the subject (like Finance). I was able to purchase some study guides that were from a totally different school but still were extremely helpful.

If you're finishing up the semester or are in the midst of taking your finals, best of luck! And make sure you use Luvo Learn, trust me it's a life saver and how I wasn't stressed out this semester when I took my last final this past week!

  1. I'm not in school anymore but I can attest that getting enough sleep will help with concentration for general life, as well! So key!

  2. Great tips!
    I am in grad school and taking 1-2 classes at a time so finals time isn't as stressful as it was as a full time student but most of these still definitely apply.

  15. I do not miss those days of finals. They were always so nerve wracking. My biggest tip that I tell my own daughter all the time is to write it down. I found rewriting my notes and condensing them make me learn the material so much better. Writing down does 10 times what just reading through does.

  16. Acronyms always worked for me when I was in college. These are great tips.
