How to get A's in PA School Didactic Year

[@emilyerin1094]

Thanks for the tip on OneNote vs Notability! I was debating which one to get and that helped!

[@AdriPA-C]

Of course! They are both very great portable notebooks to use but they each have their perks! :) I am glad this video helped!

I focus a lot like this and can relate to your study schedule! I'm starting didactic in January, so it was great to hear a set schedule like this will help me get the grades I'm looking to keep! Thanks!!!

[@AdriPA-C]

First of all, congratulations! I am glad you feel confident, and this video was able to bring some comfort to you! Rest up before the big show and good luck with everything :) xo

Great Video! Subscribed! So true on making a schedule I agree just make sure switch around! What are you specializing now days?

[@AdriPA-C]

Yes that is always the best way to stay caught up with so much going on! I’m planning on making a video soon about what been going on lately!

[@caitlinrierson5423]

Which video shows how you set up your content?

[@AdriPA-C]

Hi!! I show a clip at the very end of this video where I show a table I made on Google Docs showing how I would create my Charts! If that is not enough I do not mind making a video on how I make a chart in general!

@@AdriPA-C thank you! I’m starting PA school in June and I’m just looking for ways to study and use my time efficiently! Are there any other tips/tricks to studying or making outline that you use?

[@AdriPA-C]

@@caitlinrierson5423 I would honestly say the biggest tip of all is: DEDICATE TIME TO ALL your courses! It is super easy to want to give all your time to the harder/more hour weighed course....but you dont want to neglect the one hour course and get a C in that to get the A in the other course. I would recommend giving enough time to them all and then if you have time left you go back to the ones giving you a harder time to focus more on those after you have given even time to them all to stay in more even distrivution grades like ABBBABA instead of ACBCBCB you know? Hope this helps a bunch :)

Did you try to do an hour per day for all of your classes or mainly for the classes for that day and the next day?

[@AdriPA-C]

@@genesisc5811 Hi Genesis! I tried my best to always be 1-2 days, but most of the time it was 1 day ahead! That way I could prepare for the next day! For example: I would prepare Sunday for Monday, so Monday (by this time I had gone over content x2 - day before and professor went over it in class) I could prepare for tuesday etc. Even though that was not always the case I tried my best to do that and it helped. Trust me there was times I was 1 day or more behind but REGARDLESS I would always give each class their time YES! I would catchup eventually especially on weekends! hope this answer helped and let me know if you need more clarification, have a great day

Hi! Would you study before your lectures? I saw you mentioned you made a chart before hand. How long would it take for you to study before the next class?

[@AdriPA-C]

My review before the lecture of the day would consist of me doing my best to keep my chart updated. Let's say I had 2 days of content: - I would add/review day 1 content on my chart on day 0 (the day before). - I would then review day 1 content again after class on day 1 still. Later that same day I would add day 2 content to be ready for day 2 and so on. This way I have reviewed day 1 content 3x (while adding it to my chart, during class, and after class) and day two content 3x by the end of day 2 as well. - I hope this made sense, basically I would prep for the next day by adding it to my chart this way I would review it while adding it and keeping my chart up to date. Keeping my chart up with lecture I could add extra info during class, usually things the professors would say during class that I found helpful as well! - In regards to how long I would take would depend on how much content there was! Let me know if you have any more questions!
