Midterm exams are approaching us and it is best to be proactive when beginning the studying process.

Here are some tips for preparing for midterm exams:

• Don’t cram- start studying early to avoid extra stress…you will be thankful you did!
• Form study groups- teaching others information is a great way to reinforce concepts and information.
• Find a quiet place to study- if you do not do well with study groups, find a quiet place to fully focus on studying.
• Know what is going to be on the exam- attend all classes and ask about topics/formats of exams.
• Meet with your professor- if you have any questions, meet with your professor early!
• Relax and stay healthy- take short breaks when studying, eat healthy, and avoid too much caffeine.

Good luck on your midterm exams!
