Hello Lzyia,
For pre‑med classes, the best approach is active, efficient, and structured—flashcards and study buddies can both help, but only when you use them the right way.
Recommended study habits:
- Focus on active recall & spaced repetition: answer questions, do practice problems, & explain concepts aloud instead of passively reading.
- Use short blocks of focused time (e.g., 25–30 minutes) with breaks (Pomodoro‑style) to stay focused in long science sessions.
- Start with one clean set of notes (class + textbook) and then summarize them into short, organized “summary sheets” for later review.
Simple weekly pattern (for a tough pre‑med course):
- Lecture days: take clear notes, then the same day or next day summarize key ideas.
- 3–4 times a week: 20–30 minutes of flashcards + 30–45 minutes of practice problems.
- 1–2 times a week: short study‑buddy session to review weak areas and teach each other concepts.
