2. Attendance is Key

Zoom University has made it much easier to hit snooze on your online classes.  Avoid the urge and make sure to attend each and every one of your classes leading into finals week. Make sure to turn on your camera to help you stay focused and ready to learn!   

3. Make Sure You’re Catching Your ZZZ’s

While staying up all night might seem like the best study system – getting a good night’s sleep is actually the key to success.  Giving your mind a break is crucial to making sure you are prepared for any exam and also gives you enough energy to keep up with your work during the day.  To make sure your mind is in study-mode be sure to catch at least 7 hours of sleep a night!

4. Delete Your Distractions

In the time of online classes it has become much easier to be distracted.  Get rid of the desire to scroll through Instagram during your 9:15 by temporarily deleting your top social media apps.  Not feeling ready to fully delete your apps?  Use a screen time tracker that allows you to place time-limits you spend on specific apps.

The end of the semester can be overwhelming but with these four tips you will be ready for success!  And if you are looking for any extra study materials don’t forget to check out Numerade.  Whether you’re looking for some homework help, a study plan, or a virtual tutor we have everything you need to make sure you close out your semester strong!
