[quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Finals are in 1 week and I have taken some of the advice here and "backed off".  She says they are studying in each class (going over review sheets) and some classes are allowing the essay portions to be done before the final and she is taking the time to get those done.  She is not doing any addional studying at home and I asked her if she thinks studying only in school is sufficient.  She seems to think it is in most classes, although she did look over some of her foreign language notes after I made the comment.  Like I mentioned, she has basically been having an "easy" year of very little studying and making "decent" grades (just below her capabilities which concerns me).  I have noticed that when I don't push her about grades and studying she does manage to get A's on some tests.  It's shocking to me because the child does no studying at home.  Anyway, I really want her to do well next week, but I'm going to just encourage and not hover.  Hopefully, she will be able to pull it off.  Thanks everyone![/quote]
