[@am.b.1552]

After the 1st year I can say that also your attitude towards the books and all the materials matter. If you're saying "Eh,I have to study this material so to pass the exams" it will be hard for you to learn it because it seems that you don't do it because you enjoy it but for passing some exams. You have to be excited that you have the source for finding the answers for your questions. And like this studying becomes something entertaining,not stressing. P.S. Wish you lots of luck for the last year!

[@tinagoldsteinscamander]

After all, people in this situation are learning to be doctor. If they don’t care about the lessons/texts/lectures beyond the “I have to pass a test” point, something wrong is happening.

Best tip Focus on yourself and beat your previous versions of yourself Or just be Kharma medic✅

Study SMART! No matter if it seems impossible, no matter if it takes time, no matter if you have to up all night. Just remember that the feeling of success is the best thing in entire world ^o^
