"I am a well-organized student and have created a plan that works well for me. When I prepare for an 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. I succeeded using this approach in my undergraduates, as reflected in my overall GPA, and plan to bring a very similar approach to the more difficult dentistry program here at Western University."

Whether you prefer to create your own study aids or study in a group setting, be sure to speak with conviction about why your method for preparing for exams works well for you. Whatever your approach, take the time to walk the interviewers through your process with as much detail as possible.
