studying...

I love how mostly everyone does average on midterms and before finals week, the one sentence I hear often is, "I just have to do WELL on the final." I mean seriously, wouldn't it be better to study the test materials while you have midterms and know the material well enough so you dont have to worry about the final as much. Also, I think a common misconception for college students is to start sutdying 3-4 days before a midterm. A good way to stay prepared for the class is to read ahead, look at your notes after class, make sure you understand the lecture. This way, you won't have to stress as much during the midterms or even the final.
