"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 make a study calendar, I leave the final three days leading up to the exam to review the entire content library. 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 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, as reflected in my overall GPA. I plan to bring this same approach here at the Nova Southeastern University College of Dental Medicine."
