Have a parent sign your study plan

If you were absent, take a blank piece of paper, look at it landscape-wise and re-create the powerpoint slide that's attached. Use your topic course outline and notebook to plan which topics you will study on each night leading up to your final exam. Be as detailed as possible and stick to your plan! We need to avoid trying to cram too much information the night before the final exam. Our mind will deal with the information much better if we space out the material into manageable smaller chunks

Remember, this is your final push to get your 1st semester grades to where you want them to be. Colleges will really look at semester grades starting sophomore year. Prioritize this weekend and do everything you can to earn a grade that you'll be proud of and that the college of your dreams will be impressed by!
