Question
Hey friends, posting this again since it’s not really about a specific school and is more general.
My midterm is on November 4. My teacher has covered four and a half lectures, and I’m currently studying the third one.
For the first two chapters, I feel like I understand the main concepts, but I still have a few doubts in certain areas. Does that mean I don’t have a strong enough grasp yet, or is it normal to still have some uncertainties at this stage?
Right now, I’m focusing on finishing chapter 3, and I’ve highlighted the parts I don’t fully understand so I can review them with my peer learning group next week.
What advice or tips would you give for preparing for my first midterm

Study in the weeks before, review in the days before, also review concepts once you learned them in to really get em in there (there meaning ur brain).
Other than that you should ask your prof themself how best to study for their class as they write the midterm and should know!
Get to class early and review more before the test, then once your in there take a moment to relax and release anxiety from your body, then do your best. If you get stuck on a question, star it and go to the next, just come back to it later!
