STUDY TIPS
1. I would make a review sheet of all the questions breaking your review sheet up into sections so the final is not too overwhelming.
2. There are 11 sections, do 1-2 sections a night either writing down each section on a separate piece of paper or make flash cards.
3. Before starting a new section for that night have someone quiz you before you do another section and then have that same person quiz you on the new material and the old material.
4. Do this for 5 nights and then the night before the final focus solely on review and the essay, that will be exactly like the one above.
5. Do not study for more than 30 minutes at a time/ take a 10-minute break and do something fun and come back to your studies.
DO NOT FORGET THIS WILL BE 25% OF YOUR GRADE AS PER OUR SYLLABUS
