I really screwed up undergrad and graduated with a sub-3.0 GPA. The thing is I don't understand WHY I did so poorly.
I refuse to believe I'm completely stupid. And I am definitely not lazy. I put in a LOT of time studying but when I take exams I just don't do well on them.
Does anyone have any tips for science classes? I get everyone learns differently but I appreciate any ideas. I'll try anything.
Studying in groups never helps me, so I know that won't work. I like writing things out from my textbooks when I'm reading, but it is VERY time consuming.
I review my slides thoroughly and the notes that I've taken on them, often writing things out. But this is extraordinarily time consuming and doesn't seem to be helping all that much- if it were my grades would have been better.
I start studying decently early before an exam, about a week or so. But what I've seen is that I cover the early material in extreme detail and have to cram towards the end because I never get through it all. I've tried starting earlier but the same thing happens really.
My undergrad professors weren't that helpful honestly. I never got much useful feedback to help my studying.
I study for around 8-10 hours a day. I put the time in but I don't get results.
Does anyone have any ideas for things I can try to help me study well and also efficiently?
