Please check all that apply. I know the list is long. I think it needs to be in order to be meaningful. (All are welcome to reply: Pre-meds, Medical Students, etc.)
 
Anyone know if there's a way to fix this poll so that you can check all that apply? Darn poll.

...and the title so it's not a, "Poll: Poll:" lol, thanks!

Lecture slides for bio. Practice problems for physics/chem/math.
 
Attending lecture **BUT PAYING ATTENTION** is my best advice.
It doesn't do you any good to show up and be inattentive or not focused.

True. I go to all my physics lectures, but end up falling asleep in most of them since it's an early morning class. Needless to say, I have a lot of catching up to do 😛

Agreed. That's why I never used my laptop and wrote in notebooks or on slides.

I mainly just went to class and read my notes over to prep for tests and quizzes. Always did every practice test my profs gave us. I did extra practice problems for Math and Physics; in Chem the practice tests were enough. I only really used textbooks for O-Chem, Biochem, and Physics.
 
I got to lectures, online videos (Khan Academy), PowerPoint slides, and reading the chapters.
