Crunch Time

This week's blog post by second year MBA student: Adam Olszak.

The race is on!  There is one month left in this semester.  Toss in the holiday season to take up the stress level up a notch.  What is your strategy for acing your final exams?
Do you cram for a few nights and hope for the best?  How do you prepare on test day?  Do you get nervous, sweaty palms, or an upset stomach?
Recently, the Wall Street Journal posted an interesting article about tips for test preparation. What is the Best Way to Study? Obviously everyone is different and has his or her personal preferences for getting an “A.”  However, there are some good rules of thumb listed in the article such as avoiding distractions from your cell phone, internet or television. 
If you have never thought about your test taking strategy it might be worthwhile to give the article a quick read.  On the other hand, if your plan of attack for tests is tried and true now is the time to prepare.  The first of December is right around the corner and with it comes all the stress of projects, presentations, and finals.
Good luck everyone!
