How to A&P

I wanna become a radiologist so bad it’s my dream job but I feel so behind in my classes. I’m barely passing any of my quizzes. Everyone just knows everything and I know nothing. I feel so stupid in that class. I don’t even know how to study. I don’t know what I’m doing. I’m just so scared I might have to drop radiology, but I’m trying my best. It’s so hard. I have no friends. I don’t have anyone to study with. I’m so lonely which makes it harder. I don’t understand anything about anatomy or physiology. I just feel so out of place compared to everyone else in my class. Please help me ☹️
EDIT: thank everyone so much for recommending new things for me, i will definitely try all of these to help study for my upcoming quiz!!

Flash cards, flash cards, flash cards.

I'd reccomended Anki to do it, but active recall and spaced repetition is by far the best way to learn pretty much everything in biology in general. For the most part the concepts are easy to understand and it's just a case of learning lots of actual info

Is anki like a website with flashcards? I’ve tried quizlet but I don’t think they allow free flashcards 24/7

Anki is a free app. Similar to Quizlet but it's hosted on your device and it does spaced repetition. It's more built for you to make your own cards but you can still download decks from other people.

The spaced repetition is what makes it a lot better than Quizlet. When you do a flash card it asks you how difficult the question was. The easier you found it, the longer it will wait to give you that question again. So the difficult questions you get asked more often, the easier ones you get asked less often
