T hanksgiving is over and Christm as is
coming. But for students, there’s one thing
first: finals. So, before you open your gifts
from Santa, you will be opening final test
packets.
Finals can be a stressful time in a college
student’ s life.
“ I think there is a little bit more pressure
for athletes to do good on their fin als,”
said Blake McNall, a wrestler at Clackamas.
“ I think athletes have more pressure to
do good on their finals because in order
to participate in your sport you have to
have passing grades I have to have passing
grades to play m y sport.”
The H uffington Post offered a few tips
for students, such as, “ Alternate your
study spaces, study in homework groups,
make flash cards, take tests, and sleep.”
But students and staff at Clackamas have
all sorts o f m ethods w hen it com es to
studying for the big tests.
“ I use a lot of [flash cards] because it’s an
easy and fast way to study,” said M cNall,

study for their
biology class in
DeJardin.
who will be taking three finals this term.
Student Sabrina Vansmoorenburg also
shared her favorite techniques.
“ I d efin itely use fla s h card s,” said
Vansmoorenburg. “ I also like when I have
a final review to base my studying o n .”
Her favorite place to study is in her house.
“ Either in my bed or bn the couch,” said
Vansmoorenburg.
Students o ften m ake the m istake of
procrastinating and waiting until the last
minute to cram their brain with a bunch of
knowledge which they hope they will be
able to retain for the test. But Academic
Adviser D ustin Bare shared a different
approach for students on how to prepare
for finals.
“ M y advice for students in regards to
finals would be to start reviewing your
notes and course work now in preparation
for your finals in a few weeks,” said Bare.
“ Break up your study time into 30 minute
to 60 minute increments and make sure
to get as m uch sleep the n ight before
your final exam, but n o t too much (6-10
hours).”
No matter what you do, no matter how
you want to do it, just study. Find a quiet,
cozy place to relax and hit the books.
Finals are right around the corner and
will be here before you know it, starting
Dec. 5 and ending Dec. 10.
