But I’m working really hard to get the help I need to get a good grade on it,” Hammitt said. “One way I prepare for finals would be taking a lot of notes, study right before the test and eat a good breakfast the morning of.”

Another student, Tommy Lennon 10 is really confident how this semester is going to end. He studies every night for his hardest class in hopes of doing well. Lennon goes in for extra help when he needs it and manages his time wisely.

“As the end of the semester can be really chaotic and stressful, I’m confident that finals will go well. The only class I’m worried about would be AP Euro. It is my hardest class so I just need to keep studying for it. I try to go to bed at a decent time and study at least two hours every night. I’m extremely excited for Thanksgiving break though,” Lennon said.
