It may seem early to be thinking about finals, especially when you are still working on the final touches on your paper or studying for your next test. Preparation is the key to helping you avoid some of the stress of finals week.

As we are counting down the days to Thanksgiving break, we are getting just as close to finals.

Each week the Academic Success Center will offer tips to get you started for your finals preparation. Come by the ASC, and we will give you the "Countdown to Finals" handout to help you with your preparation.

Three tips for finals preparation this week:

1. Find out your finals schedule.
2. Locate all your tests and any other pertinent course work from the semester for each class.
3. Review the tests and see if you need to make an appointment with a tutor in the ASC to review the material.

These are very simple tasks that you can complete this week that are not very time-consuming.

If you need assistance with your finals preparation, come by the ASC.
