I spread my studying out over about the two weeks before finals, so I'd only have to devote a couple hours everyday. Our teachers always bugged us to start studying at, like, the beginning of the year...

Of course, I was home schooled, so my parents were my teachers and expected me to study early and as much as possible. (our finals were hosted at a learning center, not by our parents)

My sister's finals are coming up, and I can tell she's just a teency bit nervous, even if she won't admit to it. She's been studying hard, so I'm sure she'll do well.
