Best hack: reduce decision fatigue before the test. Finals are won by knowing what to review, what to ignore, and what technical problems to remove early.
- Build a 3-list review: guaranteed topics, weak topics, and low-yield topics.
- Use Canvas data: review missed quizzes, rubric feedback, and assignment comments first.
- Practice retrieval: close notes and write the answer from memory before checking.
- Run the tech check: charger, browser, network, Canvas login, proctoring app if required.
- Simulate timing: use the same time limit and question count you expect on exam day.
If finals are online in Canvas, read Canvas quiz settings and use the final grade calculator to know the score you actually need.
