Hi, I was wondering if anyone who has taken first year astronomy recently with wadsley could give me some tips on how to prepare for the first midterm. He said the midterm is all short answer and gave out a list of like 100 practice questions but there is no math in them so I'm just really confused about what to study

Thanks

About half of it is stuff like the 100 practice questions and half the questions are calculations. Make a list of all the equations that have shown up on the slides so far. Memorize these equations and know when to use them. You might want to redo the assignments, but the calculation questions on the test tend to be much easier. Get through the 100 practice questions and see which ones are giving you a hard time, then study those topics in more detail. Chances are if you don't know how to answer one question about the Sun, for example, other Sun-related questions are going to give you a hard time, too. This should be a good start. Good luck! It's not too bad.
