Resources for Academic Achievement (REACH)

Finals tip: Try to answer questions from the instructor's point of view. Remember what the instructor emphasized and felt was important.

Finals tip: Express difficult questions in your own words. Rephrasing can make it clear to you, but don't change the question's meaning.

Finals tip: Circle key words in difficult questions. This will force you to focus on the central point.

Shoutout to the REACH staff award winners—the standout tutors, PALs, academic coaches, and federal work‑study students who give exceptional academic support to their peers!

Finals tip: Use the margin to explain why you chose the answer if the question does not seem clear or if the answer seems ambiguous.

Finals Countdown Event: Pause 4 Paws

Thursday, April 23 from 2:00 – 4:00 p.m. at Ekstrom Library

Finals week is coming and while we can't cancel your exams, we can offer something better than a stress spiral—a serotonin boost courtesy of puppies from the Humane Society. Swing by between study sessions, reset your brain, and leave a little less stressed (and possibly covered in dog hair). No sign-ups. No expectations. Just show up, breathe, and pet a dog.
