Don\u2019t let the stress of your first midterms get you down, here are 5 survival tips to get through midterms and finals:<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\">1)<b>Do Not Cram:<\/b> Pulling all-nighters changes your regular sleep pattern and can impair your memory for the next 4 days! Studies have shown that the material you cram is not retained except for the first and last things you study (if you must, prioritize your material accordingly).<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\">2)<b>Practice Tests:<\/b> Although highlighting, re-reading and summarizing are the most common forms of studying they are not nearly as effective as practicing recalling information to mind. If you don\u2019t have practice questions, queue cards have a similar benefit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\">3)<b>Explain the Material to Someone Else:<\/b> This helps to find the missing gaps in your knowledge and gives you practice in articulating the information.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\">4)<b>Study Subjects in Intervals: <\/b>Alternate your days when you are studying a particular subject instead of having a marathon. Distributing your studying over several weeks will help with retention of the material and the longer you need to remember it, the wider spread the intervals should be.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\">5)<b>Do the Hardest Part of Studying Before Bed<\/b>: A goodnight\u2019s sleep helps to consolidate memory and scientists have found that the information taken in right before you sleep is often the first to come back to you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\">There you go friends!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">I wish you\u2019ll all have effective and productive studying this midterm season and the whole Gage team is rooting for you!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Happy midterm season! \u00a0Midterms are a right of passage into the rest of your term and it\u2019s a chance to force yourself to get caught up on your classes if you have not been doing so.
