For physics stay on TOP of the homework. Even if your prof allows a notecard, just memorize the formulas! It will help you immensely on the MCAT when the time comes. Stay on top bc in physics, especially second semester, once you fall behind it all goes downhill.

Learn how to manipulate formulas quickly. If you get a note card, solve for the important variables.

Its both very easy, and very helpful. The crux of it is just treating all your units as algebraic variables.

Know your units. It's a quick way to check if your equation is valid and sometimes helps you pick the right equation to use.
