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. Effective preparation varies widely based on individual learning styles, course content, teaching methods, and familiarity with prerequisite material. Students highlight the need to adapt study techniques to fit specific subjects and instructors, suggesting that what is successful for one may not be effective for another. The discussion underscores the significance of understanding personal strengths and weaknesses in developing a tailored study approach.

People learn and develop skills in different ways. What works for someone else might not work for you. And a lot depends on the course itself, the instructor, method of examination, how strong your background in the prerequisite material is, etc.
 
I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...
I have a specialization in condensed matter physics and materials physics, and off-late, I have been seeing a lot of research directions moving towards quantum computing (AMO and non-linear optics) and the huge chunk of quantum materials research (and funding) is dedicated towards QIS and QC research. I am wondering (sort of in a dilemma), if I should consider switching my field? I am currently at the stage of a postdoc.
