I am curious if students in university level courses, especially the higher level 2nd and 3rd year, tend to score higher on midterms exams or final exams???

Please get back to me anyone!

Thank you kindly,

It depends on the person and the course structure.

On average I would say, yes. They have more experience with studying and taking tests.

This definitely.

Sometimes in the UK you get through the first year OK then get caught up in the "Social" aspect of University and do poorly in the second year which does not set you up well for your final year.

This happened to me, I had to pass year 2 by resitting all the exams (in the days before "modular" courses) to get to my final year.

Not even on that scale. I personally found that if the final was cumulative I did better on it; but if the "final" only covered, or 90% of it was from the last material, I did the same because I had not had any more time to learn the information; etc.

I've never been very good at exams. I tend to get very nervous and make stupid mistakes or write gibberish. I didn't really learn how to study well until about 3rd year. Evidently 2nd year was awful, as it seems to be across the board.

Yes, the more experienced you have with exams and studying, the better you get as your go through higher level of courses.

One thing I STRONGLY recommend you doing is spending about 2-3 hours studying per course each day. This studying SHOULD be aside from doing your homework. Homework should be done during a separate time, before the due date of course.
Take good notes during class, even if you are given the notes, take additional notes.
Read your notes 2-3 times everyday.
READ your book. Don't spent time playing games or being on FaceBook, spend your time in studying, because you will always have the weekend to do that, and these 4 years in your university are the MOST CRUCIAL time in your life, because doing well, meaning getting between 93-100, will get you a nice job or get you into a great graduate school.
