I can't get A's despite taking a decelerated course load. Help?

I just feel like that one B minus was a fluke. The next semester already started and I currently have an A with 30% of the grade accounted for. If I can finish with a 3.3/3.4 and get a 512 on the new MCAT what are my DO chances?

Fine.

Just a warning. There are no flukes in this game.

@President Trump So basically you don't read the textbook, you just utilize lecture notes, you don't do focus on doing any practice questions, you don't do any writing assignments, you don't use resources like a learning center to get a critique on your learning despite your tuition paying for it, you don't use a counselor because you don't want a schedule map despite your tuition paying for it, and you don't respect advice from the pre-med section on SDN because a majority of the advice is from pre-meds who haven't taken the MCAT yet.

In addition, bad grades by self-admission such as a B- is a "fluke" however the fact that they are currently getting an A is considered "par for course" with 70% of the course still being played out. In the case of a cumulative final, it is likely that the first 30% of material in classes have only covered the most basic of material. However, I suspect that if the OP can control the amount of credits that they take that this isn't an overly formalized program and the content isn't that strenuous meaning that the OP themselves are likely the biggest roadblock to their own success.

I wrote in my previous post:
"Preview the lecture before class (this isn't always the case though). Go to class, which is mandatory. Don't take notes in class, just try to absorb main points. Study after class until nighttime. 20 min breaks every 1 hour. Review the week's material on weekend. Rinse and repeat. For exams, I review my notes and makes practice questions. I go over the learning objectives as practice."

I literally wrote that I make practice questions and you say I don't use practice questions. When I do the learning objectives, I write out the answers underneath each one and you say I don't do "writing assignments."

Try to relax and not take it so personally. I've read all your comments, and I will make changes to my study routine.
