Finals are right around the corner; what a scary thought! Studying for finals does not have to be scary though. Studying with Hawkes is a hassle free experience that will leave you feeling prepared to ace your exams! In four simple steps, you can trade your stress for serenity:
B- Be Confident!
The first step to achieving your goals is to begin. By utilizing the Hawkes platform, students have access to their courseware textbook, an amazing Practice Mode, and practice tests. Working through the problems in the textbook or practicing them before test day can boost students’ confidence greatly!
E- Endless Attempts
Hawkes’ Practice Mode is my favorite place to go to build my confidence because it gives me endless attempts at the same problem in different formats. The “Try Similar” button in practice mode gives endless variations of the same type of problem, so I go into my exams feeling confident that I have seen any problem that might be on the test!
S- Speak Out
I truly owe everything I have learned through Hawkes, including my participation in the Ambassador Program, to my wonderful professors. If you don’t know where to begin studying, reach out to your professor! I have always felt like a priority to my Hawkes professors and Hawkes Ambassadors; they are here to help you succeed!
T- Timing is Everything!
Only you can know how prepared you are for your exam! Timing your studies is of the utmost importance. Lacking confidence in your ability to study might require a few more hours during the week preparing, but putting everything off until the night before the test is never a good idea! Taking time to do a handful of practice problems on Hawkes each day is better than cramming in a last minute study session before the exam!
