The greater your academic performance is during medical school, the better Georgetown University's metrics will be. For this reason, the interviewers want to choose medical school students who will be diligent in their studies and perform well on exams, and they want to hear your exact approach to preparing for exams.

"I am a well-organized student and have created a plan that works well for me. When I prepare for a specific exam, I 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 are 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. I'm looking forward to studying and preparing for the curriculum here at Georgetown University and know that my studying will need an extra sharp focus in the coming years."

Perhaps you create your study aids. Maybe you prefer to prepare for exams in a group setting. Whatever your approach, walk the interviewers through your process in as much detail as possible. Be sure to reiterate that you know that exams will become much more difficult in medical school, and you'll be even more diligent in your studies.
