This depends on numerous factors. How prepared are you currently? How quick do you learn? How difficult is the test? Is it cumulative . . .





Regardless of these variables, however, studies show that occasional (every other day or so), small (45 minutes) study sessions (with 10-15 minute breaks) during daylight hours are very effective in order to do well on tests.I need some advice on how to get to study, my finals are in three weeks and i know nothing.?
Well, it's certainly never a good sign when you ';know nothing';. Since I do not know your exam subjects, I will try to just give you some advice on how to approach a fast-approaching final exam:





-Plan your study schedule so that you can manage your time most effectively. For example, if you are better in one subject than another, focus on the one you are not as good at (an alternative approach is to basically take a ';loss';- to accept a low score on one exam- but get a really good grade in another by studying a lot for it). A second aspect of this is how soon you will have each exam. If you have one exam in two days and the next one in four, focus most of your time on the first exam, leaving time for the next one after that exam.


-Try to determine what you do know and what you really don't know. I am sure you know something, even if it seems like you know nothing right now. Look at your notes (or borrow them if you have friends in the class) and ask what types of questions are likely on the exam. Some professors basically modify their exam from year-to-year only slightly, so that the material is about 90% the same. If that's the case, obtain copies of past exams and get a good idea of how the exam will look. If the professor loves to surprise students every year, try to find out if he or she has given you any clues as to what is on the exam. In my experience, professors will often focus on several specific areas (this is why it is always good to come to class).


-Never assume that because you have a book or course pack that everything will be from those sources: many times exam material is only from lecture notes! (again, pays to come to class). If you haven't come to class a lot, try to see if you have very studious friends who take meticulous notes and ask them about what they think will be on the exam. If there is still time to meet together as a group, try that. It's a good opportunity to trade notes and get an inside scoop. There's bound to be a couple ';nerdy'; classmates who know everything.


-Even though professors will probably not meet students in the hectic days just before final exams, you might still have an opportunity to go to the office hours of the TA's (teaching assistants). I am not sure if you are in college but even if you aren't, try to meet with your teacher and ask about the exam. The teacher will probably not wait around for you to basically ask ';What's on the final?'; but they will probably be ok giving you some specific answers. They might be so nice as to even clue you in to some of the questions they are likely to ask. (always pays to come to office hours- believe me I was a TA and we all loved that).
If you haven't made the effort until now, you have no chance of doing well. What have you been doing to ';know nothing';, taking up space?! You get what you deserve! Did ANYONE ever tell you that that is what school and studying are for, to learn how to learn??? You're a waste of protoplasm!!
Make studying fun. Like a game! Study Tag or Jeopardy! Just make up your own game or study with friends or family.
take a deep breath and chill out for a second. ur finals are in three weeks. u have plenty of time to study. just read your sylabus or your course outline and go over the key points your professor has continuously stressed. then go to ur text book or articles, read them thouroughly and write some notes and go over the notes u took in class. dont freak out and dont wait till the last minute


anyways you'll do fine, im sure..if ur concerned about your finals three weeks prior to the exam, then ur definetly a pretty consciencious student..but then again, ur goin on yahoo to ask for tips..hrrmm j/k


best of luck
