One simple tool you already have to avoid bad grades
Summary:
1. Understanding Syllabus: Learn how to see the bigger picture of what to learn using the syllabus.
.
2. Effective Learning Strategies: Learn more strategies for effective learning.
3. Feedback and Correction:
Seeking feedback from others, especially those knowledgeable in the subject, is highlighted.

One of the biggest things I'd say
that also led to my failure in college
was I never looked at the syllabus.
I just kind of based my knowledge
on whatever the professor is talking about.
And I realized the learning style isn't
always tailored to me when there's, like,
200 other students in a class.
And that really did open my mind up a little bit.
And now I have a new method,
which is looking over the syllabus
and then trying to study topics
from those syllabus.
And then I can kind of see, like,
look at it more from the bigger picture.
Don't look at the very tiny equation,
look at why the equation makes sense in overall
and are you able to understand all of this?
For example, if you use this,
make sure you can color code,
make sure that you're self testing yourself
the first one or two times you probably need
to learn from the textbook or the lecture
or whatever
but then once you grasp it,
then it's time for you to try
and explain it yourself.
5-10-15 rule to yourself
or to someone who knows the topic,
or to the lecturer that's giving it,
or someone that is an expert
in this subject
so they can correct you
or you can pinpoint the areas that is a problem.
And then you go back to the loop
of basically looking up the knowledge gaps
and then you explain it again.
And then basically once you're able
to use your own words
and explain it logically,
it won't escape your mind
because it's part of you now.
So that's the hack of it.
Rather than you can be writing
the definition out about 100 times.
You might remember it
for about 1 hour or 2 hours.
Tomorrow you'll probably forget half of it
because you don't understand it.
And the most important thing is also to apply it.
Because once you're able to apply it
and actually you kind of take the concept
and mold it to different things,
for example,
comparing to different other metaphors
that you can talk about,
that's why, for example,
things like asthma,
you might not have learnt before,
but it's like basically the airway spasm
that's causing all these wheezing.
But if you think of it as okay,
it's like a tube that's actually now narrow
and because of all these different things
can't flow past it.
And if you have a tissue
that's stuffed in here
like the mucus
and the gunk after inflammation,
that's why you need medications to help with it.
So being able to use simple metaphors
that even a five year old
will understand is really important.
And doing certain things, for example,
comparing concepts,
comparing different things
and able to use this is very important.
So I think that's really covered in
the Learning How to Learn module.
So I think once you finish a 28 day,
you can go through in detail
the Learning How to Learn module
to basically what I've been talking about.
But you can apply this
to your own MCAT studies.
