Here are some tips to help with stress before taking finals.

  • Get good rest. Make sure you go to sleep at a reasonable time, so you can be up and feeling good for your final. 
  • Study in quiet places for peace of mind with no distractions.

  • Take breaks from studying, and go outside and have fun. 
  • Write down what’s stressing you out and focus on ways to help you understand that subject or topic.
