My secrets to get good grades are:
- I took the previous top scorer's advice and prayed before studying my notes and before taking the test

Jeffrey Michael Pierce
Major: Biology (Pre-Med)
Hometown: Corpus Christi, Texas
Hobbies: saxophone playing,
exercising, beer sampling.
My secrets to get good grades are:
- I read sections in the book to supplement the lecture notes.
- Memorizing the notes before quiz isn't impossible, but straight memorization doesn't last in my brain.
- When I read and see pictures in the book the information is easier to recall and lasts longer.
- Study the multiple choice questions at the end of each chapter.
- I study with friends that have weird senses of humor.
- The bizarre mnemonics and images couldn't get out of my head if I tried to forget them.

Xavier Garcia Rojas
Major: Biology (Pre-Med)
Hometown: Laredo, Texas
Hobbies: writing, electronic entertainment (computers & consoles), philosophizing with friends
My secrets to get good grades are:
- In addition to the insightful comments already posted by my colleagues, I suggest practising memorization techniques.
- Learn the web-based lecture notes in their totality.
- In lectures, enhance those notes with spoken examples.
- Visiting related links on the internet aids in the association process and cross referencing which leads to longer-term memorization
- Everyone studies differently. I study best alone in a quiet atmosphere. Afterwards, discussions and "quizzes" among friends help to reinforce the material.
