Math is a complicated subject. While some students are great at math, many others could be better. However, no matter what, It’s essential to study even with how hard and boring it gets. According to math teacher, Ms. Wilson states, “I think after Thanksgiving break is a good time to start studying for finals.” She also added, “I think it would be better to go back and study the stuff we did at the beginning of the school year.” We especially need to pay attention in class and write notes, watch videos, or even get tutoring help. The math center is a great place to get help on your math problems and get them memorized.
Math and science usually go hand in hand, this explains why it is so complex. There are so many different aspects of science that can change the whole perspective. Biology teacher, Mrs. Robinette suggests that students do the review occasionally, ask questions, and quiz each other to prepare for the final. While there isn’t a center for science you can always ask your teacher for help or even talk to other people in your class. There are still so many ways to get help and be more successful.
English and History are both pretty straightforward to understand for most people. You go from reading stories and writing about them to learning about the different wars and leaders from years before. English teacher Mrs. Hawthorne states students should review big concepts and ideas to prepare for the final. She added that when studying, get a nice warm drink, put on some relaxing music and comfortable clothes, and sit somewhere with no distractions.
History teacher Mr. Cruz states that students should spend at most 30 minutes to an hour studying, as spending too much time could cause you to forget a lot of the information. He also added that you should memorize things that you weren’t sure about or can’t remember from the topic.
In conclusion, finals take a lot of time and work, but if you are focused and you have a goal, you should be able to pass.
