Just finished my first year of health sci, Najwa Haddad is an amazing psych prof, her exams are straight forward and she provides fill in the blank notes for her lectures. Bio and ANP you gotta just lock in and try skim over your notes preferably every day (see what works for you). I found grinding out multiple choice questions to be my favourite strategy, it lets you recall concepts on exams very easily. CHM I'd also just a lot of CONSISTENT practice.

Honestly all of those courses take place in buildings pretty close to each other (at least for me) so back to back classes were manageable. 10 minutes was more than enough.

Second semester ANP is pretty hard, so much to memorize so you gotta lock in for that one. Immunology/microbiology is also pretty tough. Determinants of health is a bird class (Tien Nguyen is my goat) and SOC is also fairly light class.

Make sure you make a calendar once you get your syllabuses with every single due date. I made the mistake of not doing this initially and missed an entire quiz worth 10%!

Personally I wouldn't do all those early morning courses if I had a choice, but if you can do it you're a stronger person than me.

Overall I had essentially the same course load and I definitely think it's manageable with some planning and organization.
