Mid-semester assessments
Midterm exams are tests given at the middle of an academic term, typically covering material from the first half of a course.
In American universities, midterms often fall in October for fall semesters and March for spring.
They carry significant weight in final grades alongside finals: I have three midterms next week.
The singular midterm works as both noun and adjective: a midterm exam, studying for midterms.
