Students Prepare for First Semester Finals

By Sam Darkow and Brent Leibowitz

With finals in full swing, students of Hopkinton High School have spent the past couple of weeksÂ studyingÂ for numerous tests. Students use a variety of study methods to prepare for their exams. Some review their material on online review sites. Some have others quiz them. Some look over their notes. This photo essay explores the various study and preparation methods for finals that students use and will perhaps even inspire readers to adopt new methods.

Some students study by going to extra help.
