This is something I'm sure many of you are already aware of, but just to help you out, here once again are my mid-term test tips.
Most of you are waking up to a Monday morning that is Week 5 of
Winter Quarter here at Drexel. Yet that lovely time again for mid-terms!
So here for your information are a few mid-term taking tips:
1) GET SOME SLEEP! That partying you might normally do during the week can wait for a moment til the weekend comes.
2) EAT WELL! There is nothing worse than trying to take a test while your stomach is playing kettle drum rhythms.
3)
You might think that cramming the night before is good but actually
you're going against your best interests. For strong test taking you
want to begin a few days in advance of the test, work through your
units/chapters in sections (about one week per day) similar to how they
were taught during class. Cramming everything from four weeks into one
night will cause so much stress to your body and brain that you will
actually not retain or refresh information as well as you think you are.
4)
Look over the whole test before you start taking it. I can tell you
from personal experience there will be parts of tests you can realize
will take you longer than other parts. It may be in your best interests
then to maximize time by completing those sections first before
continuing through completing the rest of the exam. After you've
finished the test, look back over it again to make sure that all your
answers correspond correctly to the related question.
5)
And last but not least, RELAX! Yes, mid-terms are important but don't
stress over it like it's the end of the world if you do a bit less that
you expected. Positive outlook always allows the ability to rebound
before the final. Keep your head up and you shall prevail.

WISHES MY FRIENDS ... This "Train of Thought" is pulling out of the
station, we'll arrive again next Monday with a new thought!
