Testing STEM students with high GPAs (3.3+), how do you study for university?

AI Thread Summary
STEM students with GPAs of 3.3 and above emphasize the importance of personalized study strategies for university final exams.

Thread 'Hepth programs in Europe'

For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...
