Well, we're in the home stretch. Only a few cycles left and summer vacation will be here. As you begin to prepare for final exams I thought you might like to keep the following suggestions in mind. When it comes to studying, a well thought out plan will make the best use of your time.
1) Think about studing with a friend who is in your class. Make sure they will be focused and not distract you from your goal.
2) Find the right place to study. Obvious places may be the library or each other's houses but there may be others. Places void of noise and distractions are recommended. (I used to study on a blanket down by a small stream in a park; it was peaceful and pleasant.)
3) Make it fun. Try to invent games to help with memory...Mnemonics, rhymes and diagrams may help.
TIPS
Try phone studying! If studying at home use the speakerphone option or your Blue Tooth if you have them.
Take a break every 45 minutes and play some hoops or jog in place for 15 minutes. The exercise will increase your heartrate and help you refocus when you return to studying.
Have a snack with you! Don't get distracted searching for something to eat, be prepared ahead of time.

Lastly, remember to get classnotes from a friend for any days you were absent. Your teacher can also give you her/his lecture notes. Previous quizzes and tests should also be reviewed during studying, particularily material you got wrong! Look at teacher notes or comments to see how to avoid the same mistake on your final exam.
Good luck studying and remember in the words of B.B. King:
"The beautiful thing about learning is that no one can take it away from you."
