Why do I keep bombing my final exams?

I’m having a lot of trouble with my final exams this year. I’ve taken 2/4 already and did bad on those two. Normally I’m an A+ student who works really hard during the year (so much so the teachers tell me I need to relax and take a break), but this year my finals are killing me. I do great during the year - why am I failing now?! Any tips to help me ace my other two finals (both of which are tomorrow)? Anybody go through a similar experience? Will this affect college admissions, who will see my bad final exam grade?

Thanks,

Ask your guidance counselor what goes on your transcript. It may well be that only semester or year grades are on it, making the finals more hidden and less relevant.
