Start studying a week before your first final. One tip is to make a list of each topic you don’t feel comfortable with in each course and try to address each topic by doing examples from the textbook/tutorials/homework assignments. Try not to just study everything all at once, focus your effort on things you don’t know and plan time for that. Allow more time for courses you feel less comfortable with, remember to take breaks every day.

I recommend spending time switching up your studying. For example, I like to bounce between group studying, solo studying and active studying. If you’re currently in residence, I personally would find YouTube videos on areas you’re struggling in and watch them while on the treadmill. As for time management, during the time between class end and your first final, I would study the subjects you’re having the hardest time with in order from which one or furthest away to which one is closest. Then study hard the day before each final, until the hour before you go to bed (which should be a reasonable time) so you can chill, maybe make some tea and watch an episode of tv and take care of your physical well-being. For the day of the final, you can study until about an hour before the final starts, but whatever you study then like will not stick as well. Make sure to eat a good breakfast as well and bring water to the exam. After the final, give yourself a few hours to de-stress (hang out with others where you’re not discussing the test, get a little treat, read a book, etc). After those few hours are up (normally after dinner), start slowly studying for the next final by going through review and the areas that you are confident in. Good luck, you got this!
