The hour is upon us; finals start tomorrow. For many students, finals week is a very trying time. For others, finals week is a joke. Whichever category you fall in, these tips may help you get through the week with better grades than ever before.

Get Some Sleep
It has been shown that students that get their 7-8 hours fare better than those that don't. Apparently it's hard to maintain what you have studied and learned when your brain is tired. Get some Z's and avoid caffeinated drinks.

Double Check Times
Nothing is worse than being prepared for a final and missing it because of the wrong time or location. Make sure you know where and when your finals happen.

Relax
Stress makes studying and taking the final that much harder. Take it easy and don't get yourself too worked up. Try to be calm.

Don't Party Before the Tests...
Don't go out and booze the night before your final just because you think you got it under control. A hangover surely won't help you ace that test. Save the partying for Summer.

...Party After the Tests
Once you turn that last test in, there isn't anything you can do (unless you have a little afternoon delight planned). Forget about the test and get on with your life. Buy a celebratory bottle of your favorite drink and celebrate (or wallow in) the end of another school year.
