How I study for finals: REVIEW! All I do is write out pages and pages of notes, and then review them, try and know all of them. Then I take all that information and put it on flash cards. Then I review those till I know them forward and backward. That is my generic study method for a history class, or for Spanish. For my math and by science finals, I write out all vocab on papers. I study those a ton and then I write out an example of every type of problem I can imagine ever being on the final. Then I practice those until I understand each problem. Practice, practice, practice. That's all I can say about studying for a math or science finals, or anything that has any type of problems. For an English final, a lot of teachers give essay questions, so to practice for them I write a fairly good response for each of them. I get good bullet points and have an idea of where I would elaborate If this was my prompt on the final I would already have a really good idea about what to write about. I also just review grammar  and vocab, but we use that a lot already so I do not have to study those as hard. For my fitness final, there is not point of studying. I have been in this class for three years already, and if I do not know the exercises and video moves by now, I deserve the low grade I get. Studying is a very important key to getting good grades on your finals. It does not matter how good your grades are; if you do not study for finals, you will get a bad grade. As soon as my teachers have updated all of my grades, I will check STI and calculate the percentages I need on each final to get an A for the class.
