How to prepare midterm test?

Midterms! Midterms! We have our midterms test starting this Monday and we are getting REALLY stressed out about them. I feel like I'm just going to fail because they're huge tests. I don't know how to deal with it because I go into the exam thinking that I'll fail. But I had read article about how to prepare midterm test and now I will share it to you.

1.Time management. Plan, plan, plan. Before finals begin, get out your calendar and schedule as much of your finals week as possible. Then stick with the schedule.
2.Schedule in study breaks. Don't plan to study non-stop for the next five days. You'll go insane, and you'll be too fried to do well on the exams. When you write your schedule, include short study breaks to help you recharge. You'll feel so much better and will be able to concentrate so much more.
3.Exercise. There's no better source for stress relief. Just don't overdo it to the point that you're procrastinating heavily. Go for short, stress-relieving activities, like racquetball or a treadmill run. And don't underestimate the value of a brisk walk.
4.Prioritize. You have limited time to study and will have to choose what to spend the most time with. You could spend hours and hours on that math exam because if you do really well, you might be able to pull of a C. Or you can spend hours and hours on a history exam because if you do well, you've got a good shot at an A. It's up to you.
5.Form effective study groups. Just don't waste your time with lousy ones.
6.Keep things in perspective. What's the worst thing that can happen if you don't do well on this test? Excessive stress will make you crazy and hurt your performance on tests, so as much as you can, relax. And if you're having serious problems with anxiety during final exams, seek help at your school's counseling center.
I hope this study tips can help us to prepare the midterm test, let’s do the best!

FKIP = FAVORITE??

Every year Tanjungpura University hold registration for new students. As the only one state university in West Borneo,Tanjungpura University much in demand by high school graduates from all regions in west Borneo. Even some applicants are from outside Borneo, such as Riau, Natuna and Java. Almost every year the favorite faculty is teacher training and education faculty, most in the majors who are interested are PGSD, English and sociology departments. Why do they tend to choose majors in teacher training and education faculty rather than forestry faculty and agriculture?
I as one of the applicants who compete at the teachers training and education before, which is on my mind are:
1. wider employment opportunities.
as we know the number of teachers in Indonesia is still lacking. Especially in isolated areas, therefore, when I've graduated I'll be easier to find a job.
2. as a public servant has a guaranteed future.

maybe this way of thinking should be changed, because being a teacher is not just about money but about how to educate the next generation. Also the government should improve the educational system and economy.
Government should develop agriculture and forestry sectors. Both sectors are considered potentially to be developed for more than 60 percent of poor people in rural areas. Village itself is identical to the agriculture and plantation. so the graduates from agriculture and forestry faculty can work easily .
