"I am an organized student and have come up with a plan that works very well for me when preparing for exams. I like to map out the content I need to learn and divide that content over the number of days I have 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; they work much better than simply reading and re-reading the materials. Aids such as flashcards are also much more helpful 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, and I'm confident it will aid me greatly during veterinary school."
