Studying for Finals?

Hey Basilers! So, this year is my Freshman year in High School, and so I will be experiencing my first Finals -insert unenthusiastic yay here-.
SoooooooooooooooooOoooo, I was wondering, how can I prepare for this AWFUL AWFUL experience? Is there an efficient way to study? If so, I would love to hear your thoughts and methods of studying below. mmmhmm

To be honest, if you don't have a borderline grade, they don't really matter.
[url=http://rogerhub.com/final-grade-calculator/]To prove my point, use this to calculate how well you need to do on your finals. They weigh far less than you actually think (unless, like i said, you have a borderline grade)[/url]

Dude freshman year in high school is all about figuring out why there's hair on your willy and why you always smell bad; it's not for doing well.

Colleges don't give a damn what you do freshman year so relax bud.

It's high school, you can just cram the night before (or class before, lol) and still do good.

Just get a high grade and get exempt from finals unless they don't do that at your school..
other than that it's just high school, study the night before or even the week before if you have time/like to study and you will be fine.
iirc, high school finals are not a big deal, don't worry about them much (if you are). lol

Subjects that require you yo know a lot of terms, concepts, and etc can be memorized the day before such as the social sciences.

However, subjects like Math, Science, any abstract subject requires consistent studying like 3 hrs one day, 2 hrs the next, etc.

You're in high school, dude.
You can get away with cramming a night or two before the exam. Since you're a freshman, you probably got a study guide or something.

Just wait until you're in college... Oh boy.
I'm a freshman right now going through finals and it's been an awful experience.
But I made an 87 on my Calc II exam where the average was a 58 and that was BY FAR the HARDEST exam I have ever taken. So... Celebration break.

The best preparation you can have is paying attention to the lectures throughout the semester or whatever.
I can study pretty well if I go somewhere else, like the library. I even bring my phone so I can listen to music and sometimes I take breaks but I still study more than waste time.

You're so young lol. When I was a freshman...back in like the Jurassic period,
we prepared for finals by cramming 1 night before we take them.
