Midterms and you

So I mention in a previous article about the affects of studying for prolonged periods of time and why it can have a negative effect on your social and physical health, but today I took my midterm and I saw the rewards.My chemistry midterm was fairly easy and in fact I felt over prepared for my test. To be fair this is the first time the instructor is teaching the general chemistry course and he is used to teaching Organic chemistry but I felt a little disappointed at the easier aspects of the exam. I studied the questions that required the heavier thought processes but it just boiled down to knowing how to derive names from the formula and vice-versa. The point is I felt ripped off basically, but now I understand, because I usually don't feel like that during a midterm. I only did one thing different and that was study. I felt overprepared because I was over prepared but its a good feeling because I can easily say that I did well on the exam and that's important because it is 20 percent of my grade after all. Now I feel refreshed for the week and ready to dive headfirst into studying because I can't wait to feel overprepared for another test . -Alex the Adamant
