Study tip #12 is probably too obvious to mention, but if your last exam happens to be a 24 hour take home exam, it's a bad idea to work on it all day, get it 2/3 finished, and put it aside to cavort and drink alcohol and do other unhealthy things and then wake up at 4 in the morning, put the finishing touches on it, and turn it in at 8:30 AM when it is due. The fact that it is your birthday is no excuse. Finish the exam, then party. This explains my other bad grade first semester of 1L year.
