What to do when you have a big test that covers LOTS of things:

So many classes I have taken just have a midterm and then a cumulative final. And these seem so daunting and scary because it can literally make you fail the class if you do bad on one. Studying for these major exams is so stressful too. You have months of material to sift through.

It's not hopeless and you don't need to stress so much! I have some tips to help after years of stress and tears.

If your teacher relies heavily on the textbook, find the chapter summaries and use those as a guide. Those will highlight the main topics in the chapter. It will help you identify what you know well and what you need to study.

If you have quizzes in the class, study the quiz questions. Chances are the test will have some of the same or very similar questions. Teachers love to recycle.

Get a separate sheet of paper. Go through your notes and write down important dates/time frames. Make a new section. Write down important people or species. New section. Major events/key words. New section. Numbers/equations/formulas. New section. Subjects and topics covered. New section. Other important things like experiments or super important things. Congrats! You now have a set of skeleton notes with the bare bones. This is going to be your holy grail. It has all the big important information without the messy, niche details. Don't write the meanings of any of these things. Just write them in a list. Below is an example of my last start to one of these.

Review any homework assignments

Look at vocab. If you understand the vocab and when to use the words, you're in a really good spot.

Have a good understanding of all the major subjects and a really good understanding of a few main niche things from each subject.

You won't know everything and that's ok. Don't try to know everything.

If you have other pieces of advice, please add on!

Midterm Pride Flag

Midterm (slang): someone halfway between stages, phases, or states of sexuality, orientation, gender, presentation, identity or sex.

In Brazil, it's very common to use "meio-termo" referring to pluralians (bi/pan/ply/omni/tri/multi), cuspers/evenics (of any kind), transitioners and androgynous people, serial monogamists (and some non-monoamorous people) whose gender of partners varies (multipartnering), GNC/PNC, acespec/arospec, multigender/agender or otherwise non-binary people, and many others.

Therefore it can be a reclaimed term.

i cant go see dan and phil in October cause of a midterm😭😭😭😭

[stupidcowboykid]

you young people decided--and saved-- this year's midterms.

dont let yourself become disheartened by the election results. we held the line.

because young people voted, we did not see the "red wave" that conservatives so desperately wanted. because young people voted, we saw people of color elected, women elected, LGBTQ+ people elected, small amounts of marijuana decriminalized, antislavery ballot measures approved (i know, in 2022). Because young people voted, we have pro-choice, anti-racist, pro-union, candidates in office. Because young people voted, trump-endorsed candidates lost their elections.

the fact that we did not lose is a win. it could have been so, so much worse. thank you, young voters.

P.S. to the people with runoff elections (see Georgia), go vote again. we are so close.

Yesssss, my midterm is open-book! The relief is like heroin. I'll still have to study, of course, but not nearly as feverishly as I had thought.

If you think trump will do better in 2024 than he did in 2020 after this red wedding of an election than you are a fool and beyond saving.

2.19.2024 — Said I would only take my chapter quiz today, but here I am, studying next week’s material and planning my midterm project. Better earlier than later I suppose. The mac n cheese is for emotional support. Also, I got a cool new pen while I was out today. Gift yourself big or little things when you can. You deserve it.
