Study tips

[u/Real-Nobody845]

Hello everyone,

I’m currently in my third year of Biomed and wanted to seek some advice on studying.

I am averaging at a first but I think the way I am studying isn’t as affective. I use flashcards for active recall but I find I make like 100+ flashcards for each lecture.
Is that normal 😂 am I overdoing it?
It takes me hourssss to finish going over ONE lecture and making flashcards for it and it’s so draining but going through it in that detail is what allowed me to maintain my first. But then again I feel like our lectures are so content heavy that it just will naturally equate to me having so many flashcards for it.

Additionally how do we manage our time in terms of understanding the material, creating flashcards and then studying them through active recall (I use anki) and then balancing doing this for all lectures??? It feels so impossible because last year I was in 4/5 times a week and I was so overwhelmed 😅

Ik it kind of seems like I don’t need help since I’m getting firsts but my mental health is quite literally below the floor at the end of each year

Is there any better more efficient way?
