I havent really no, should I?

Definitely, exercise is a really good way to de-stress. It releases endorphins which can calm you and make you happy. This is a great way to reset before studying.

That is a good tip, I should really start working on that more. What could I do to help me study more efficiently though?

HAve you tried setting small study goals? That always helps me. I set a hour for one small topic at a time , it makes studying less overwhelming.

Okay, so If i have 6 finals, would I be able to study for all by studying less?
user

Not necessarily studying less but break the 6 finals into smaller tasks. Use index cards to organize yourself. I alwyas start with an outline of topics i need to cover then put them onto index cards.

I really like that, I should definitly start doing that. How about work school balance, I currently work and am enrolled full time. Should I request time off to prep for finals or what should I do?

That's up to you. WIll your employer be accommodating about taking a day or two off? You want to make sure to not lose your job.
assistant
Question
Thats a good point. I really like my job so I wouldnt like to lose it. But I feel like I should ask anyways. I mean the worst they can say is no right?
