Midterms are here!

Yes it is that time of the year again. The time of year that lets you know you're almost done with the semester and you have to buckle  down for what is to come. It is midterms. I know midterms time can be stressful but with these simple tips you will pass all of your midterms with flying colors.

1. Prepare for your midterms by making a strict study schedule. This will help you get and stay organized and on task.
2. Make flashcard and go through them on your way to and from class while on campus. This is a great way to study during the downtime you spend doing simple everyday activities.
3. Join a study group. Study groups are great resources to have because they give you a better perspective on the material and you can test yourself and others. Study groups also give you the chance to seek out understanding of class material from your peers.
4. Don't cram! Cramming is the absolute WORST thing you could ever do when studying for a test. It is proven that if you cram from an exam the material with not stay with you for a long period of time.
5. Get a good night's sleep before your exam. Sleep is one of the best ways to prepare for the exam day because it gives your body and brain a break from the stress of studying. It also gives your brain a chance to retain the information you have studied.
