The greater your academic performance, the better the university's metrics will be. For this reason, the interviewers want to choose veterinary medicine students who will be diligent in their studies and perform well on exams. Perhaps you create your own study aids. Maybe you prefer to prepare for exams in a group setting. Whatever your approach, take the time to walk the interviewers through your process in as much detail as possible.

"I am a well-organized student and have devised a plan that works 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 because 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, pair up with fellow students to test each other in written or verbal lightning rounds. My approach has been successful, as reflected in my overall GPA."

There is no wrong answer; every student has different study habits. However, you do not want to say that you do not have a plan for studying for exams, which would make you appear unprepared and disorganized.
