Just finished taking my midterms and here my scores:
neuroscience : 80 percent
physiology: 81 Percent
immunology: 80 percent

I was wondering if anyone could give me on any advice that will help me go from a low B to an A.

I have one more exam in like 6 weeks.

what do I need to do to kick ass?
Thanks,

What questions are you missing? Are they the details you might gloss over in studying? Or are you not understanding concepts? If they are details, this can be "easily" fixed by simply paying equal attention to everything in the syllabus and the slides and basically memorize every detail you possibly can. In my experience that's sufficient for the A. There isn't much deep thinking involved in med school exams.

Okay, just a small reality check here-- I'm going to just guess here and say that you have two exams per class. That would mean that in these three classes you're basically going to need 100% in order to score a 90%, which would most likely be an A. Even for a superstar student, that's not an easy feat. Just remember to not be disappointed if you don't get A's at the end of the term and that preclinical grades don't count nearly as much as clinical grades and board scores-- right now focus on learning the material, keeping your B's, and enjoying med school and life as much as you possibly can.

Why do you need an A in everything? To jump from B to A requires an extensive amount of studying. I assume scoring is based on some type of curve and standard deviations. Remember Step I is more important than your M1/M2 grades. Though for the extremely competitive specialties everything is up in the air.
