This has to be a joke...

I have never seen anyone study this thoroughly in my academic career, and there are some neurotic ****s in medical school. Wow, if it works man, by all means... But wow.

I was an art/advertising major. The only thing I read was the price tag under the beer I was buying.

Reading? That must be why I didn't go to college.

30 minutes to an hour to read a chapter(approximately 2 a week). 15 minutes per class day to rewrite notes (45 min a week). Reading 3 times a day (15 minutes a day, hour 45 a week)

4.5 hours a week for a 3 credit hour class is unreasonable?

It is working and sounds a lot more than what it is. I have to break it up in small reviews or can't remember crap.

This initial post made it seem like each thing would take longer. My bad. And like I said, if it works, do it. Everybody has different ways of learning and performing well on tests.

As for me, I crammed a lot in undergrad. Once you get into the big boy leagues, you have to study daily, and develop new ways of staying actively engaged (like the ones you described). That will help you if you ever start thinking about grad school.

I've got to go to grad school. Be it phd or masters, haven't made up my mind yet.

Yeah, **** that. Unless it's grad school I don't see the point.

Got to get the grades. Scholarships, grad school, etc depend on it.
