2 finals in one wk

Have you tried the Pomodoro Technique of studying? 25min study, 5min break, 25min study, 5min break, 25min study, 15-30min break and then repeat. I find it really helpful for keeping my ADHD brain focused, since I know I get a break every 25mins. Maybe you could do a round of micro, then a round of chem, and switch back and forth?

That the concept I've been working since I have 4 finals and a practical. I've been doing 2 hrs. per subject then rinse and repeat for the past 2 weeks. My breaks are sporadic just when I feel myself getting antsy then I'll break gets some to snack on see what’s going on AN. I have Anatomy, Human growth, Med terms and Math. I’ve been studying for my practical and finals since the beginning of Thanksgiving break I had skeletal this past Tuesday and Muscle this Tuesday which kicks off finals week.

I took the whole day yesterday and devoted it to micro. Today is anatomy. Tomorrow will be micro since my final is on Tuesday. Then Tuesday and Wednesday will be anatomy with the final on Thursday. Then my math final is on Friday.

Thanks I'm going to try the 2 hr off and on between subjects I think that method will work for me. I guess I've been dedicating too much time to one subject and it's giving me anxiety lol.

This is how I study. Research actually shows that studying for short amounts of time and taking short breaks is the best way to retain the information that is studied.

take breaks. go back and refresh. you can do it. I have 4 finals this week. you are not alone!

I wish mine were days apart.

I have four in one day. Yes FOUR!

Good thing I have good study habits and will ace them all, right?

I have 5 this week. Got my first couple done. My micro was hard. Hoping I did well. Differentiating between all those bacterium and how each one affects the body was crazy. Knowing exactly what strain of ecoli is deadly. But I made it through and will hopefully get my grade soon. My big anatomy one is on Thursday. I have to get an A to maintain my A. I am so nervous.

Focus on what troubled you during the semester. Make flow charts! Take breaks!

Yep take breaks. I feel your pain. I just go until my brain says no more then switch.

I took my micro final today, glad that's over with. Tomorrow I have my chemistry final but I feel sooo burned out from micro my brain is fried lol.
