Ultimate Study Guide: Midterms Prep at Apex

Midterms are coming, and while they may sound stressful, prepping at Apex makes it way easier to stay focused and have fun. With the right study spots, productivity hacks, and a solid playlist, you’ll be crushing your exams in no time. Here’s how to study smarter, not harder, while living at Apex!

Best Quiet Spots at Apex for Focus Time

📍 Private Tech Labs on Every Floor – Need a distraction-free zone? These labs are perfect for solo or group study sessions with fast Wi-Fi, plenty of outlets, and a quiet vibe.

📍 Ingenuity Labs – If you need Macs and printing stations for a last-minute project, this is your go-to. Plus, studying with friends here means built-in accountability.

📍 Your Own Apartment – Sometimes, your fully furnished space is the best place to grind out assignments. Set up a study nook at your desk, make some tea, and get in the zone.

📍 Café & Gaming Lounge (During Off-Hours) – Grab a coffee and get some work done when it’s quieter. Just try not to get sucked into gaming breaks (unless it's your reward for finishing a chapter).

How to Stay on Top of Assignments (and Still Have Fun!)

✔ Use the Pomodoro Technique – Study for 25 minutes, then take a 5-minute break. After four rounds, reward yourself with a longer break (hot tub session, anyone?).

✔ Make a Study Plan – Block out time in your calendar for different subjects, and stick to it. Knowing when your study sessions are keeps you from last-minute cramming.

✔ Study with Friends – Use Apex’s study spaces to quiz each other or break things down together. Just make sure “group study” doesn’t turn into “group TikTok scroll.”

Productivity Hacks & Study Playlists

🎧 Best Study Playlists:

• Lo-Fi Beats to Study To (classic for a reason)
• Instrumental Chillhop (if you need focus but not silence)
• Classical for Concentration (when you need to feel like a genius)
