Study Plans for Exams

As we approach exams, advisors will be talking to their advisees about semester exams.  Our Freshmen Advisors will be following a more structured plan to help their advisees since this is their first time preparing for semester exams in the Upper School.  The plan, developed by our Upper School Guidance Counselor, Anna Kennedy, involves three steps:

1. Advisors will be going through general study tips with their advisees. Here is a link to the guidelines for those study tips.
2. Next, the freshmen will create a study schedule in advisory as a plan of attack for exams.  Here is a sample study schedule that can help guide the students in making their own plan.  Keep in mind that students should design a plan that best fits with their style of studying and amount of review they need.  The sample can serve as a starting point.
3. Advisors will then spend a few days going through the students' study plans with them to ensure that they are on the right track.

The Freshmen Advisors have already started implementing this process this week, but it is a useful exercise no matter whether you are a freshman or a senior trying to direct your studying efforts.
