This year, midterms will be held from Tuesday, January 16th to Friday, January 19, with the testing blocks lasting from 7:30 to 9:10am and 9:30 to 11:10am each day. The Health and Wellness Department will sponsor 20-minute breaks between testing sessions, allowing students to move around, complete the mindfulness activities on their google classroom, and\/or study for their next exam.<\/span><\/p>\n

Students should plan to bring several pencils and erasers for each exam, making a specific note to bring calculators and rulers for math and science exams and pens for English exams. Following the completion of their test, students may read, study, or color as they quietly wait for others to finish. In the event that a student does not have an exam during a designated session, they can arrange their own transportation to or from the school or silently study in the commons or media center.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cocoa and Cram sessions have proven to be effective in schools all over the country.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The weight that midterms have on our final grade has been increased to 10% this year. While all grades should look over their semester notes and complete assigned study guides to review, freshmen have the additional opportunity of attending the Link Crew-sponsored Cocoa and Cram study session.<\/span><\/p>\n

On Wednesday, January 10, those who have signed up will go to their assigned rooms to get help from upperclassmen on any two subjects of their choice. The first subject will be reviewed from 2:30 to 3:15pm and the second from 3:15 to 4:00pm.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe thought of midterms arising is daunting for many students, hence the cocoa & cram event is meant to aid students who are either feeling overwhelmed or unsure in how to study for these tests,\u201d says Junior Link Crew member Jiya Malhotra. \u201cUpperclassmen from Link Crew volunteer to help other students out in specific classes, and it\u2019s simply meant to be a less stressful way to tackle midterms as a whole!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

There are many effective ways to study, including the Pomodoro Method, active recall, and the Feynman Technique. The Feynman Technique involves explaining concepts in a simple manner while active recall entails repeatedly testing yourself on a certain topic. The Pomodoro Technique is composed of 25-minute study sessions separated by 5-minute breaks. Flashcards, color-coded notes, and practice tests are also great ways to study.<\/span><\/p>\n

Keep calm and study on!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
