The interviewers are asking you about your learning style, study habits, and work ethic and assessing how effective you'll be in their environment. The greater your academic performance, the better the university's metrics will be. For this reason, the interviewers want to choose students who are diligent in their studies and perform well on exams. Share your approach, taking the time to walk them through your process in as much detail as possible. Furthermore, expound on what it takes for you to learn and retain information, and why your systems work well for you. If you can quantify their success with tangible results, all the better.

"I am a well-organized student and have come up with a plan that works very well for me. When I prepare for a specific exam, I will map out the content I need to learn and divide that content over the number of days I have available to prepare. When I create a study calendar, I leave the final three days leading up to the exam to review the entire library of content. I am a big fan of study aids, as I believe they work much better than simply reading and re-reading the materials. Aids such as flashcards as also much more helpful to me than highlighting my notes. I also create practice problems, and when possible, will pair up with a fellow student to test each other in written form or verbal lightning rounds. My approach has been successful so far, as reflected in my overall GPA."
