Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Step1
Use the final exam outline to help you organize your notes. If you are given an outline by your professor, it makes note organization much easier. Delete the notes that are not going to be covered in the final and concentrate on the others.
Step2
Highlight the sections that are most important. You can use a three-color highlighter to label your notes. Use pink for the most important sections, green for the semi-important notes and yellow for everything else that is relevant to the exam.
Step3
Record any pertinent information from your notes onto flash cards. Arrange your notes into flash cards as a way to test your knowledge.
Step4
Find study software to help you organize your notes. Online note organizer software can help you study for your finals. Recall Plus is note software that many students rely on (see Resources below).
Step5
Use memorization study tactics as a way to organize your final exam notes. If certain subjects covered in your notes can be linked in some way, put them together.
