oki, this is rare and epic!
first of all, what's the method of classes in your university? problem based learning or the classical one?
anyways, i just passed to my 4th year of medicine and well, i've failed once in my propaedeutic year due to procrastination lmao, and i had to add one more semester for that discipline *depressing vibes until now*
after that i still don't study a lot, i still watch animes and play games, but i haven't failed not even once since my prop year.. i've stepped up my game just enough to pass with above average grades with the minimum effort possible, cuz im lazy. Are you lazy?
what i'm trying to say is something you probably have heard a lot.
- "you have to study a lot, sacrifice a tons of bla bla".. smh, that's true.. every single guy will struggle in medicine in his first 2 years (hella of useless disciplines), if it ain't hard then you're doing something wrong.
to sum up, if you really want to get better, you have to be a little bit more creative in your studying methods and plan EVERYTHING.
my tips
1. read the recommended books - don't search your lessons on internet, only do that if you have read it in a book before
2. find your perfect time for studying - usually the time of the day were your mood is cool and no one will bother you
3. don't date highschool girls - seriously DON'T
4. ah, also study with pictures and real life models in case of human anatomy
6. get a life, have hobbies and whenever you get a new lesson kill that shit already or do a 2/1 hours session with small breaks when studying
7. don't get stressed when you're reading Robbins
8. or just bang your teachers and gg
the heck is sGPA and cGPA?
