Study Strategy for Architecture Finals

Architecture finals include both technical knowledge and design critique.

Get past exams or sample questions. Past questions reveal the highest-yield topics for this type of final.
Practice under exam conditions. Timed, closed-note. This is the most effective final preparation strategy.
Attend office hours once. One focused session with the professor clarifies expectations more efficiently than hours of solo review.
