How I am to prepare for midterm exams

Midterm exams can be painful if you do not know how best to study and prepare for them. Having good study skills will help you ace a midterm exam.  Here is a 4c that I recommend as to prevailing over your mid term.

1. Consistency — Study your material on a regular basis and do not cram for a test.

2. Connection — Make connections with prior knowledge.

3. Communication — Ask someone to study with or quiz you.

4. Calm-down— Relax and do not pull an all nighter.

  1. There is a Mid-term exam in next week. Before two weeks, I have already started to prepare it. Everyone should have their own way to prepare the test. Take me for example, I usually use writing to help me remember the highlights in the books. By writing, it can reinforce the image to me. Help me to answer the questions easily and definitely. In this examination, there also have the speaking test. And I think the best way to prepare is talking to friends in English. Because of it, Winni and I chat in English sometimes. I certainly think it will improve our speaking skill. Actually I think that if we review and preview everyday, the test will easy to us.

  2. Next week, it is my first university’s mid-term exams. I’m very nervous now. Because of that I am scared that I may miss up my exams. To avoid that situation, I have some ways to prepare for exams. First, for the Linguistics class, I will read all of the handouts, and then remember terminologies, also to understand what texts are talking about. Second, for the writing class, I will review the texts at first, then memorize some words meaning like “paragraph”, “supporting sentence”, “concluding sentence” and so on. Third, I think it is the most effective way to prepare the mid-term exams which is that we should study hard, not just want to muddle through it. To sum up, those ways are the ways what I will prepare for my first university’s mid-term exams.

  3. Whether it’s a test or a exam,I think that studying hard is the most important thing which have to do.I remember in the past that my teacher said,〝effort not must be successful,but no effort can’t success definitely.〞I have believed this sentence until now.Due to the first exam,I think that I only can follow the directions that teachers give.Besides,the improvement of conversation and the ability of individual thinking are two things which must enhance by myself.However,I consider that the improvement of conversation should talk with other people in English by accumulating experience.I will do my best in the first
    Mid-term exam.Afterwards,I will also improve the shortage that I have.

  4. This midterm exam is the first big test in my university life, so it is very important wheather I do well or not. I thonk that diligence is the best way for me. For the one thing, I will use the weekend to review most of all coures, especially Linguistic because it is so hard for me. Then I will listening all CDs about some classes to reinforce my impressions. Most of all, I should make me relax to solve all tests, or I will get poor grades.I will do my best. Good luck for me!

  5. I do not usually change my routine for preparing exams unless there is so much paperwork. I am actually very easy to get nervous and that feeling makes me so clumsy that I cannot be stable and concentrate on my work. I try to keep myself calm and relax, so I do study but not as much as causing me headaches or insomnia because of studying too less. I would rather take care of my health. Though we have exam, I am to eat properly and stay safe because nobody can take exams instead of me. I think this idea is very considerable. Later I will take a walk outside again.

  6. There will be Mid-term exams next week for my first time in this university. I always take a note in every class, so I have to review them before having exams. It’s my way to prepare to all my exams. Additionally, I want to get my speaking skill well, so I always chat with Tina in our free time. We hope we can improve our speaking skill and prepare for our speaking test. We think doing it will be very useful for our future. Besides, before about one week, I went to library for studying some objects. I have to make sure that I can learn more things or make my ability better. Hope I really can get good grades in my first Mid-term exams.

  7. This is first exam since I go to college, I am really nervous about it. All text books are English, so, I am going to find meaning about the word which I do not understand at first. Second, I will borrow textbook from classmates to transcribe and find important words and sentences which I did not write. Third, I will ask my classmates some questions which I can not find the answers. And then, read handout and part of teachers said point.

  8. I often prepare for mid-term before two weeks,but I feel it is not enough sometimes.I usually study with reverse order.For instance,I study the last subject which I test first and the eariliest in final.Of course,I study after every lesson;therefore,this measure is just review.Actually,I also study the difficult subject first because I don’t know I can handle or not.When I study,I write down what I see and what I want to recite by heart.Doing this that I consider I can remember them more and easier.Besides,I often read them with voice if nobody is nearby me.

  9. One way I prepare for the midterm exam is to read every subjects approximately. Because of the time is not enough, so I think read the key parts is the best choice. And the other way is to increase the identification of vocabularies, it can let me know more about what’s the question ask for. The most important thing for me to pay attention is confirming which classroom I should go and when I should arrive.

  10. Before the midterm exams, I have already read some. Now there are three and a half days that I can prepare them at the dorm. I will just review the key points in the subjects since it seems I have little time to study them slowly and I must fast read them totally. Indeed, before the exams, we should take care of the classes and time. The rest of the preparations are to keep good spirit to take the exams.

  11. The way I prepare for midterm exams is read those topics in the text book,after that I start concentrate on every detail in the book,read it carefully and remember the main idea , if I still can’t remember it, I will write down those main ideas and keep stare at them,the next day morning I will take out the text book and review those point I marked last night,this is the way howI prepared midterm exams.

  12. This midterm exams are very important for me because that’s my first exams in the university. I am so nervous about this a week ago. And it comes so fast. Today is Wednesday and now I also have tested four subjects, some subjects I feel I didn’t do very good. So I want to keep studying for other subjects. I always review textbooks after classes, and then it can deepen my memory about this subject. Before the exam, I always check which sections teacher will test. And read all texts and memorize some new words I don’t know. Sometimes I would stay up all night, but it can’t continue for many days or I will be sick.

  13. It’s my first mid-term in college. I did not really know how to prepare the exam. I wrote key words on my note and concentrated on teachers in class. After class, I asked my classmates the parts I didn’t know. If they also didn’t know, we would discuss together. The more time went near, the more nervous I became. I studied the quizzes before the test. I often stayed up all night to study especially recent days. I scared that I couldn’t finish my studying. I was so tired so far this week. I thought I would be harder after mid-term. I didn’t want to stay up all night often.

  14. It is my first mid-term exam at university.It is needless to say that I am very nervous about it because many subjects that I have never touched before.Consequently,I prepare it early then at my senior high school.And,I usually see the text books and handouts , review what the teacher have taught and memorize the emphases before the exam.Besides,I stay up to prepare the exam these days,I was very tired,I think I should prepare it earlier.
    Anyway,I wish I could get good grades.

  15. This is my first mid-term exam in university.I completely did not know how to prepare.There are many aspects making me upset to prepare exam.First,the textbooks are all original scripts.It’s difficult to read for me.I have to spend much time than before.Second,I don’t know the directions of exams.What’s more,because of my moodiness,I can’t calm down to study smoothly.Sometimes,I even hope I could fail in the mid-term exam.In this way,I must fail to pass this semester and I’m forced to leave school;therefore,my parents could not say anything.

  16. Next week , it is my first university’s mid-term exams. I am very nervous because I am afraid that I can not do well. But before the midterm exams, I have already read some. Now there are three and a half days that I can prepare them at the dorm. Teacher told us about what he will do in the exams and all we have to do is review the class that teacher teach. Anyway,I wish I could get good grades.

  17. It will be my first exam in collage. I am so nervous. I am afraid of that I may fail lots subject in mid-term. So in the class I make lots notes and I can study it when I review the lesson. I hope this way would be good for my mid-term. All I have to do now is that study harder.
