What is a good way to study for a hard class?

<p>Ok, well it is not very hard its just lot of material to know and the professor moves at a fast pace. I have been getting Low B's sometimes C's on my cell bio class. I know I can do better but the problem is that the professor moves at a very fast pace and its so much stuff to know and I have other classes that are very demanding too, so sometimes I usually give bio an hour a day but I sit there and at some point all that stuff stops sticking in my brain so Im thinking maybe I have been studying wrong this whole time. Anyone got tips on how to study for class like bio? Each exam is 6 chapters, each chapter is about 12 pages with 3 slides on each page but everything on those slide is fair game when it comes to the test so I need to know all of it, but the problem is that stuff doesn't stick!</p>

<p>I love flash cards personally. I had a ton for my bio class. I also watched A LOT of youtube videos to explain concepts that weren’t clicking from slides/book.</p>

<p>Does your professor post any past tests online? Because those usually help me out so much. Other than that, do some practice problems from the textbook, find a solutions manual and compare your answers</p>

<p>Make sure you understand everything while you’re studying. A lot of times I’ll just be reading the words in my book and not really processing ‘why’ things happen</p>
