For those who had mandatory attendance, how did you survive? What sort of schedule did you guys have to keep to keep up with school work?

I did not have mandatory attendance but did voluntarily attend essentially every lecture in person. I didn't find it requires any exceptional feat. You just go to class, try to get the most of out of the lectures and then go home and study. Nothing special.

If you can, wear headphones in class and use it as your study time. If that's not possible, then you need to review every lecture the night before. Set aside 30 minutes per lecture the night before, and have a surface level understanding of the material before you even attend lecture. This will make lecture easier to follow and after lecture, ideally, you should be 80% done with your studying for the exam.

Also make sure you're periodically reviewing the material every couple days until the exam.

To go along with Azete, imo pre-read for surface understanding, attend lecture for comprehension and write down what you're shaky on/don't understand. ~1 hour review of what you wrote down that night (hopefully it's not more than that), then pre-study for next day. Weekend make a review pass. Rinse repeat. That's assuming you're actually going to be able to pay attention for X hours of lecture though. If you can't then invest in some good noise-cancelling headphones and do whatever you need to study...

We only had mandatory attendance for a few stupid, waste of time classes. We just sat in the back and played games on our computers

for my school, we have/had mandatory attendance for EVERY class. Medical genetics, clinical skills, anatomy, you name it... What i would do is wake up every day at 7:15am regardless of when my first class was including the weekends.

For example; my monday schedule was anatomy 11a-2p, then anatomy lab 5-8 (which rarely went above 6:45p), i would study 8:15-10:30am then study 3-4pm, then from 8pm-11:15 pm, 6 hours of work time.

Tl;dr; follow a strict sleep/wake cycle; you'll be more productive
