The midterm is the single biggest test of the semester. It's time to prepare for total victory.

Two Weeks Out: This is when you start. Make a list of every single topic that will be on the test.

Create your 'Master Study Guide.' Go through your notes and create a condensed, powerful summary of everything.

One Week Out: Take a blank practice test from your textbook or teacher. Do it under timed conditions.

Grade your practice test brutally. Every wrong answer is a gift, showing you exactly what you need to study.

Three Days Out: Focus exclusively on your weak areas. Do dozens of practice problems on those topics.

The Night Before: Do NOT cram new material. Do a light review of your master study guide and get a full night's sleep.

Test Day Morning: Eat a good breakfast. Look over your summary sheet one last time. Walk in confident.

During the Test: Do a 'brain dump' of formulas first. Solve the easy problems first to build momentum.

This isn't about luck. It's about a systematic, disciplined preparation strategy. Follow the plan, and you will succeed.
