How to schedule my study time?

Advice on how to study for my finals. Please help! I am really bad with prioritizing and time management?

• I have both of my finals on Friday. My two classes are Philosophy 300(5 credit), and a Health Professions (2 credit class) for my health class ( i already completed part of it) but I have to rewrite a 300-400 word essay on a given prompt For philosophy I have a 7-8 page paper and a exam. (both due Friday) Tomorrow being Thursday, how would you recommend my study schedule to look like? Should i just stay up tonight and finish the health paper? and what time should I wake up tomorrow?

• Answer:

  This Friday? Haha, you sound like me. You have to triage. How much is each worth? For example, a final worth 30% of your grade should take more time and effort than a final worth 10%. Also consider how you are doing in each class. If you have a solid A going into a final, you *probably* won't have to study as much than a class where you are borderline passing. Once you figure out which is most important, make a plan accordingly. At the very least, fill out the study guide, if available, or rewrite your notes. After doing that, write your papers and then use any extra time to study more. Make sure you understand all the broad/main ideas, then if you have time start to memorize specific details. To help you out, you really have to steer clear of any distractions. There are some white noise videos on youtube that can help you focus. Caffeine is a good bet too. I would recommend taking two 4-5hr naps between now and your finals. You can always come home and crash afterwards, but for now, it's go time.
