<p>I have done all the readings and homework and took notes on all of the classes.
However I still feel unprepared for all the courses.</p>
<p>Please share some of the study tips that you find useful when you are studying for midterms for a desperate freshman!</p>
<p>Thank you :)</p>
<p>For pol sci, sit down and then WRITE OUT the explanation for the concepts in your own words. Sounds trivial, but esp. in pol sci, you’ll feel like you understand all the concepts (because most of them are pretty straightforward), but that you actually can’t explain them. Since all PS courses are basically essays-based, you’re going to need to. Explain all the concepts and give a real-life example.</p>
<p>Math: Practice past midterms. If you feel like you need more work, then do problems in the textbook. I’d say 1 or 2 for each concept (not necessarily each section) and if you struggle in a certain concept then do more.</p>
