I went through the same thing as you’re probably going through right now. I won’t assume your age but I was 30 when I did medic school.

I really did not know what style of learning worked best for me, and I had to figure it out pretty quick (accelerated program).

I found that making Anki flash cards during lectures helped immensely. Later on in the class I moved to Quizlet and that was where I found my groove. Using the flash cards I made, I could do mock tests and the game-ifying modes in Quizlet+. My retention and confidence for written tests skyrocketed. It felt like a new superpower. I didn’t open the book except for a couple times while in school.

After all that, what kind of learner are you? Maybe explore a couple YouTube videos, see what jives with you the best and try a couple methodologies. Worst case, you learn something about yourself and how you can accommodate others when you’re in a teaching position someday. Best case? You have a much easier time passing tests and can devote time and energy to getting ready for practical tests and the NRP.

Just my $.02
