My first semester in pharmacy school I was so
nervous for finals week. I had no idea
how I was going to study for cumulative finals in multiple classes to be taken
within the same week. Throughout my time
here at PC I have been able to talk with other students and professors to learn
some helpful ways to study for finals.
The
way PC sets up the curriculum, finals week is not a challenge course wise if
you keep up with the material throughout the semester. If you learn better by making flashcards or
study guides, I recommend making them for each section you are learning at that
time. This will allow you to have the
information in a condensed and organized form to study from. The material really does build upon itself so
if there is something you are unsure of when a professor is explaining it, do
not be afraid to ask! Clarifying
material early on will help you to remember it better and have less to learn or
relearn for when it comes time for finals.
I found that it is very beneficial to keep on top of your material. For example, even if exams may not be
cumulative throughout the year, go back and review previous material. Doing so will help you study a little at a
time instead of trying to study everything all at once for the final.
Finals week may be more
stressful for some than others so take time out for yourself if you need
to. Go for a hike, see a movie, or have
dinner with family and friends. Pharmacy
school is a wonderful time. Try not to
be too stressed when it comes to finals week, everyone here at PC is here to
help!
