3. Listen to the advice of successful students:
Erin, 3rd Year, International Affairs and German Major, Georgia Tech
“To get ready for midterms, I create study guides based on the notes I’ve taken in class. I try to anticipate the questions my professor might ask and answer them myself. Creating the guide itself is also like studying because it helps you to think critically about the material.”
Sheereen, 4th Year, Industrial & Systems Engineering Major, International Affairs minor, Georgia Tech
“I review the homework problems and/or in-class examples that gave my classmates and I the most difficulty. I dissect these problems into smaller components so I have a more holistic understanding of the most difficult material I’ve covered in a course. Understanding the fundamentals of the difficult material ensures that I’m prepared for the midterm.”
