Quarter 2 and Midterms
It's hard to believe that quarter 2 is coming to a close. Grades close on Friday, January 17th and midterms begin on Tuesday, January 20th.
Here are some tips for making the most out of your time before and during midterms:
1. Don't attempt to cram all your studying into one session.
2. Plan when you're going to study.
3. Study at the same time every day.
4. Each study time should have a specific goal.
5. Never procrastinate your planned study session.
6. Start with the most difficult subject first.
7. Always review your notes before starting an assignment.
8. Make sure you're not distracted while you're studying.
9. Use study groups effectively.
10. Review your notes, schoolwork and other class materials over the weekend.
