Its official, I survived midterms for my first semester of
Graduate School! It was beyond stressful, tiring, and a little terrifying, but
I am happy to say I passed them all and received a 100 on my group presentation =)
Some tips I found helpful:
· Note cards are my best friend! I completed the
study guide/review first and then made note cards.
·
Cram is a great website to use for flashcards.
·
FIND A STUDY GROUP!!! There is nothing better
than studying with a friend/friends to help you remember and understand things
better. Find people who you gel with and have a study group once or twice
before the exam, it helped me so much. If it was not for my friend I would not
have been able to do so well on my midterms.
·
Don’t panic!! No matter what you have to take
the test, there is no point in stressing or panicking because it’s only going
to make it worse.
·
Get some sleep! You can only study so much and
at the end of the day you need to be well rested.
·
Reward yourself while study with some wine, ice
cream, candy, (my go to is chocolate milk or blow pops), or even take a 30
minute break to watch a TV show. It can’t be all work and no treats!
·
After
midterms are over, go out and celebrate because you deserve it =)
