Finals are a stressful time for students everywhere. While the word "finals" itself invokes images of late nights and caffeine-fueled cram sessions, there are plenty of synonyms you can use to mix things up. "Exams" and "end-of-term tests" are common alternatives, while "final exams" emphasizes the high-stakes nature of the assessment. If you're looking for something a little more whimsical, try "ultimate assessments" or "final assessments" for a touch of positivity. Just remember that no matter what you call them, finals are an important stepping stone on the path to academic success!
