Princeton's compressed semester and relatively little class time makes the lead up to finals particularly demanding. Given final projects and papers too, there simply isn't enough time at the end of the term—and during reading period--to do all the studying you need to do well on finals. And, Dean's Date poses its own unique challenges. At this juncture in the semester, you can anticipate your future studying and practice for finals by taking doable steps that will not only be beneficial now, but will be very helpful during finals period. Use McGraw resources so that the coming weeks are less stressful and more successful.
