Peer Mentors & Tutors Top 6 Tips for Midterm Success

1. Study early on in the semester. Don't cram.

2. Study individually first, then gather a study group together. It will be more productive overall.

3. Get tutoring early (at the SAS Center or LAC). Don't wait until the day before!

4. Don't overload on caffeine. You don't want the crash later.

5. Nervous? Talk to your Mentor (or to an advisor).

6. Buy scantrons and bluebooks early so you are not scrambling to get them the day of the exam.

What is a Peer Mentor?
Jensen SAS Peer Mentors are upper-division science and math students who volunteer to assist first-year freshmen during their academic and social transition to life at CSULB as part of the Science Enrichment Program. Peer Mentors share their experiences as CSULB students, give direction, encourage student success, and serve as tutors. As a peer mentor, students have the opportunity to give back to their campus community, improve leadership skills, develop facilitation abilities, help foster a successful learning environment, and pass on a legacy of altruism.
