We asked SCTCC students on Instagram for their best study tips, just in time for finals week! From getting someone to go over material with to listening to music, there are so many different options. Take a glance through what our students suggest to make this your best finals season yet!


kaety37: Join Trio if you can, it is an amazing opportunity to help with school and other life things!

makayla_timp: Tell family or friends what you’re studying with the phrase “Did you know…” sometimes explaining it to someone helps the information stick better

avesofspades: Listen to video game music while you study! It is designed to help you focus!

sophie_treb4432: Making rhymes or making it sounds like a funny word

konnor_warzecha: Seek help if you’re stuck while studying.

megs.art.arsenal: I plan

nickservatius: As a Trio math tutor at SCTCC, I encourage practice and repetition of the problems.

_kailee03_: Make a Quizlet or flash cards

annerhodesterp: Draw a picture of the content

kenzyspringer: rewrite the material in your own more memorable words

kat_983: I always recommend Quizlet or creating your own study guide

casstlesaurus: Switching up the spots you study in, helps refocus and retain the information

cassie_boecker: Associate material with something to help you remember

r.matz7: Take little breaks while studying. This will prevent information overload and extra unneeded stress. Even taking a 15-minute walk outside is good! Then get back to studying and you’ll be more focused. Mental breaks are key! :)

paiger505: Read and rewrite important information and take breaks.
