End of term is fast approaching and Learning Skills Services would like to wish you the best of luck on your upcoming exams and final assignments. We also want to thank all of you who have attended our Learning Skills workshops this term. We hope you’ve learned some useful study skills to help you achieve your academic goals. Once exams are over and the winter term begins, we can help you achieve your new years resolution goals by improving your time management, organization and study habits. Our Learning Skills Workshops begin again in early January. Check our website lss.info.yorku.ca/ for the LSS calendar and follow us on twitter @mysuccessyorku, to get learning skills tips and workshop reminders. In the meantime, here are a few study tips to help you succeed in your exams: · Make a realistic study schedule and stick to it. Ensure your schedule includes breaks. · Break the work down into small, manageable tasks. Shorter, frequent sessions work better than last-minute cramming. · Understand the material well before trying to memorize it. · Don’t get lost in the detail. Pull back and look for the “big picture” – how do the pieces fit together? What’s a main idea; what’s a supporting detail or example? · For final written assignments or essay exams, be sure to check out SPARK (Student Papers & Academic Research Kit) yorku.ca/spark/ · Dont forget to take a few deep breaths before you start the exam.

Sincerely, Learning Skills Services
