Some of these are more geared towards College Finals, but still can apply to our Finals at STM, just think students at STM, are going through the same studying strategies as those at U of I this week as they take their finals!

Mr. Schreder's Tips:
  • Organize your study Time
  • Get Enough Sleep
  • Eat Breakfast
  • Make Flashcards
  • Form Study Groups or find a Study Buddy!
  • Pray to Sts. Thomas Aquinas, Catherine of Alexandria, Gabriel Ponsetti, the Patron Saints of Students!
  • Believe in Yourself that you will do well!
A Prayer before studying for exams.“God of Wisdom, I thank you for the knowledge gained and the learning experiences of the semester. I come to you this day and ask you to illuminate my mind and heart. Let your Spirit be with me as I prepare for exams, guiding my studies, and giving me insight so that I can perform to the best of my ability. Please grant me the strength to handle the pressure during these final days of the semester, the confidence to feel secure in my knowledge, and the ability to keep an appropriate perspective through it all. Help me to keep in mind what is truly important, even as I focus my time and energy on these tests in the immediate future. Finally, may I sense your peace in knowing that I applied myself to the challenges of this day.” Amen
