Throughout high school I wanted to be an English teacher, so I never focused on my sciences or math, but aced my other subjects. They came naturally to me. However, this summer I saw this video that really made me want to be a nurse, both considering the good and the not so good. This was before I even looked into the competitiveness of it. So I'm now pre-nursing and in my 1st semester of college!! Here's the problem: I never focused on science, so right off the bat my first chem test and a 30 pt assignment went less than well. It is disheartening to not do well right away with the kind of crazy good grades I need to be accepted. I was wondering what you do to study?? Because in class, this stuff makes beautiful sense, but put a test in front of me, I go blank. I'm willing to give up a social life for a job making a difference and that I'd love doing every day. So I don't care how time consuming, what are some good/effective ways to study?
