Most students prepare for their midterms by making note cards, and study guides. People use these because they are the easiest ways to study. People are going to study the way that they best understand the topic. Like some people might like to study with someone else, reading them the questions and them trying to get the answer right. Also people have different ways of time for studying. Like some people might spend 30 minutes to an hour and some might spend a 1 hour or more studying. And the days they study may be different just like time. Some people might do it every other day and some might study every day. Another thing is when they study, some people might study like the passage has been saying and others might cram it all together and is not able to get a good grade like the other one who is going to get an A or a B on their tests. It all depends on the time a person spends on it and the time usage of them studying. Some people might spend the whole time studying for the test and then others will spend little to no time studying for their tests and may get a bad grade due to their lack of preparing for the test.
