Thank you guys for your great advice :) I will try all these things

So I have to make an A in micro next semester to get an A. I think I can do it but I need help, definitely. What are your most helpful strategies when it comes to getting an A? I know it will be difficult but I am extremely determined. Feel free to give me any websites, anything you think might help. ANYTHING! LOL So far to get ahead I got Clinical Microbiology Made Ridiculously Simple which I'm reading and taking notes on.

I'm almost finished with my prereqs. When I was taking anat and phys I was going through an extremely rough time, my mother had spinal fusion aswell as two hip replacements and I was responsible for her care. I also went through a very bad breakup and I just was a total mess at the time(I passed both with a C though.) I have yet to take micro. Anyway, I'm facing the reality I need to retake those classes in order to have a admissable gpa. The problem is, the program I was looking for told me they don't accept retaking the classes and would only take the first passing score. I only talked to a counselor who answered generic questions, however, and have an appointment to see my nursing counselor in two weeks. This program is currently running on a points and random drawing basis. Now, if I took micro and got an A(i maybe could do this, but i'm very anxious about it ) i would have a low, but admissable, gpa. it would be in the 2.5-2.7 range then(just the science courses, the rest would probably be a 3.4). I have my heart set on this program, but I just don't know if they will accept me? I wonder if, since it's been close to 3 years, if I could retake the classes because it's been so long since I took them? Has anyone ever heard of that? I'm desperate for some positive words.
