my midterm experience~

Ok~ here's what you need to do if you want a 85% OR HIGHER on a midterm!!

1. Know some of the material beforehand (pay attention in class and do the hw, or else a 85% is impossible)

2. Make use of the study guide that they give you, or if they don't give u one, then make ur own.

3. Make use of past tests and quizzes since some of the questions on there will be on the midterm no matter what the professor says (trust me, I've seen them).

4. Devote a good 10 hours to studying (don't do this in one sitting it will NOT help; split it up into 2~3 sessions).

5. After studying the study guide that you made, make ANOTHER study guide, this time only listing the most important facts that you think will definately be on the test (this tactic will help you LOTS, I SWEAR).

6. Go over the second study guide before the midterm.

7. Relax, and take the midterm!!!!!

*On test day, it is critical to have a full stomach and a clear mind, and you should sleep early on the day before. make sure to dress well and go to the restroom and finish your buisness!!*

Good luck~~~~
