I'm a pretty consistent B/B+ student. I know what study methods work for me to get me a B+ in most science classes. I'm wondering what I should refine in order to make the jump to an A student.
My current study methods:
For information heavy courses, like most biology classes, I thoroughly review each lecture at least 4 times. I make tick marks at the top of each page of notes/printout, and I find that information is easier to memorize each pass through. I space this out from the day of the lecture to 1-2 days before the test.
I re-listen to lecture podcasts for some courses and fill in gaps in my notes. I didn't feel the need to do this for Ochem, but for Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, etc. it's been helpful.
I quiz myself with flashcards, mock test questions, and practice tests.
I go to office hours with any topics that I feel shaky on.
I'm not sure what more to do to start getting consistent A's rather than B+'s.
Thanks!
