You will not receive a formal study guide, but here is some guidance to help you prepare. Specifically, here is what have have worked on this semester. I would plan on doing the bulk of your studying for the writing portion of the final on Wednesday of next week. You will need to have a good command of the verb tenses and vocabulary to complete that section successfully. This will minimize the necessary studying for the listening and reading part of the final in which vocabulary will be especially important.
