What's the best approach to take when remaining behind? I feel like I fucked up my entire first year of uni and although I didn't fail any courses, I should have since I mostly learned how to do the exams instead of actually learning and understanding the content. Now that I'm going into year 2 - Should I just wing it and when going through more advanced material, reference back to the stuff I'm supposed to know? Should I ignore the new material for a couple of weeks and focus only on the old one? Should I handle both at the same time (half a day for one, half for the other or some such)?
Also before anything, /adv/ is mostly /r9k/ and I trust you faggots more on this type of stuff.
Lol been there. You're in for more of the same if you don't pull your socks all the way up. Don't keep doing shit the same way and expect your grades to go up. In my experience I don't remember shit so practice is the main squeeze. Do practice questions, try to remember things off the top of your head and pay attention to what your profs actually want from you. Not having that foundational knowledge from first year may fuck you up but a lot of courses have refreshers at the start of the term in second year at least. You may need more than a refresher though. Honestly it's just about getting as much (productive) studying in as possible. More = better.
