With the sun out and school winding down, it is easy to feel overwhelmed and unmotivated. Remember motivation is like momentum, the more times you are successful with something, the more likely you are keep working towards it. Break down your tasks into bite sized pieces so you can celebrate each small victory and help yourself keep trudging ahead towards finals.

Amidst all your studying, don't forget to think about *how* you take the test. Start with the easiest problems, you'll guarantee yourself more points. When facing a difficult question, ask yourself, "what concept is the professor asking me to demonstrate?" It will help show you where to start. If you want to come up with your own strategies, we have a few coaching appointments left for this term: bit.ly/getcoachedOSU
