Answer 2

medio termino was the term I heard on the U.S. Spanish TV to refer to mid term elections, but I am not sure if would work for an exam. Parcial by the way would be a final exam.

Answer 3

Hmmm, what do you mean by mid term election? Election of what? Are we talking politics?

Answer 4

Although I do not see a direct translation for mid-term, I would recomend to use the word "A la mitad de" to refer to the middle point of an event, an activity,etc,. i.e. "A la mitad del periodo"=Mid term(of the period), "A la mitad del camino"=Half way, "A la mitad de la noche"=Mid night, "A la mitad del concierto", etc.. I think in English we use the word mid term to refer to middle point timewise.Hope my reccomendation helps.
