Study Habits That Actually Work in PA School

The way you studied in undergrad will not work in PA school. The volume is the thing nobody prepares you for. You get more material in a week than you used to get in a semester, and the students who struggle usually aren't the ones who can't handle it. They're the ones still using a method that only worked when there was time to reread everything. Start by knowing how you actually learn. The VARK assessment is a quick way to figure out whether you're getting more out of reading, listening, drawing it out, or doing. Then build your study time around that instead of copying whatever your smartest classmate does. Keep the boards in your peripheral vision the whole time. Work practice questions from different sources so you're not just memorizing one question bank's style. And eat something. Sleep. You cannot outstudy a body you're running into the ground.
