You have to study to pass. If you pass you get a degree. If you fail a final, you have to enroll in another class. You have to study to pass.
Finals are a vicious cycle.
With finals week looming like a clock tower, the next few weeks have the potential to be pretty stressful, just ask your blood pressure. To reduce stress levels, the UCLA stress clinic teaches students different relaxation techniques and talks about stress. One of the relaxation techniques is deep breathing, which can help a student lower stress levels. The lower levels will help a student concentrate on the task at hand and presumably test or study more effectively. Prescott relates the experience to walking out of an exam and beginning to remember answers as you walk away.
