I'm aware that you must study all the time to succeed in medical school. My question is how are you studying during all those hours? Do you make flashcards? Do you simply reread the material over and over? Do you make outlines? How did your studying differ in medical school versus undergrad? Do you read ahead of the time? Do you attend and pay attention in class? What works for you?
One last note, this thread is really directed toward people of average to above-average intelligence. I'm aware there are geniuses who get by with very little study, and will reply that they study a few hours per day and get straight A's. To those people, I envy you, but your advice wouldn't help an "Average Jane" like me. I'm seeking advice from people who felt they had to struggle to earn top grades in medical school.
To all those who respond, thank you for insight as always. This is the single most helpful sight on the internet.
