The final exam is coming. It's time to consolidate a full year of knowledge into one unstoppable force.

The Strategy: Don't just re-read your notes. You need to actively solve problems from every chapter.

Step 1: The Topic Gauntlet. Make a list of every major topic covered since day one.

Step 2: The Chapter Crawl. Go back to the 'Chapter Review' section of every chapter in your book.

Step 3: Solve a Variety. From each chapter review, solve 3-5 problems, ensuring you cover different types.

Step 4: The 'Weakness Hunt'. As you do this, you will quickly rediscover which chapters were the hardest for you.

Step 5: The Focused Assault. Spend 70% of your remaining study time attacking those weak chapters with intense practice.

Take one of your old tests again. Can you ace it now?

The final exam is a test of your long-term retention, not just what you learned last week.

This review process rebuilds those old connections and forges them into a solid weapon. Start the crawl now.
