Study consistently so you don't have to cram at the last minute. Most students find it hard to be consistent in their studies, but if you go over material daily after you have completed a class, it's more likely to stay with you, and you won't have to panic right before the midterm.

Try to make associations between the material you have to remember and things that you remember easily.  Try to make mental links and connections between various events on your test to help you remember them and perhaps narrow down correct answers.

Ask someone to study with you so that you know the material thoroughly. Instead of studying with a friend, it might be helpful to have one of your parents quiz you on dates, names, definitions or other material.

Get plenty of rest the night before A TEST. There is nothing worse than going to a term exam all sleepy and unable to think clearly. By getting a good night's rest ahead of time, you can cut down on the stress associated with a midterm.

Wake up early and eat a good breakfast. By waking at least an hour or two before a test, you will be more alert and ready to think and less likely to oversleep. Breakfast will keep those annoying stomach growls away, and help you persevere through your midterm. Also,

• Find a quiet place to study devoid of any distractions
• Turn off cell phones and any other such devices
• Have only the study materials relative to the course being tested
• Set specific study times and stick to the schedule
• Explain to friends and relatives that you are not to be disturbed
• Be out of earshot of any computers, televisions, etc.

While everyone studies differently, these basic tips usually work for most people. Some students may actually do better while listening to music or studying outdoors; others find these environments distracting. On the campus, the serenity of a library may be a perfect place to study.
