Surviving Midtems






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 =)
