IB exams, SOLs, and finals are currently floating in the minds of every student. Get into full gear and prepare to power through the last month of school.

The sprint at the end of the race is always difficult, but crucial to ending on the best note possible. There are many steps students can take in preparation to succeed on the exams.

The first step students can take to be successful on their tests are attending review sessions given by teachers and reading notes taken throughout the year.

Next, write out main ideas and formulas on a notecard for easy access, review the notecards during any free minute up until the exam date.

One of the most beneficial preparation steps is getting enough sleep and food in the day before the test. Students need to fuel their body and mind in order to achieve the maximum score on their exam.

Students need to take a deep breath and manage their time well so they can ace those tests.
