I am a very, very, VERY forgetful person.
And since undergraduate education (or at least, MY undergraduate education) demands students to remember hundreds of pages worth of notes with 100% accuracy for each subject, I am sooooo screwed, am I?
Is there any way to compensate for my lack of memory powers and make use of my irrelevant advantage of intelligence?
(I am studying biology).

i found that a great way to study is to take notes on whatever you are studying once youve written it down a few times it stays in your head better

Flash cards!
Make them every day with the vocab and key concepts of the reading. Then before each class go through them to memorize the concepts. It will start to make more sense.
Also, record the flashcards/vocab onto a CD or MP3 and listen to it as you jog, go in between classes, and sleep.
You need to know this material cold to pass, and this is the most effective way. I have watched several bio majors succeed with this method and those that relied on intelligence alone fail out.
Good Luck!

I found in my experience that taking notes while I'm reading keeps me not only engaged in the reading, but also helps me retain the information.
Sometimes computer applications help me understand and keep the information...your textbooks might have CD-ROMs that you can use to help you. I also am a visual learner, so sometimes writing in different color pens helps me out, believe it or not.
You can also talk to your professors and tell them your situation and they usually can help you out! Also, when you talk to your professors you get brownie points!

read some article that gurus say it takes 6 repetitions for anyone to remember anything decently... keep repeating and good luck!

How about making your own flashcards? If works for kids it should work for anyone. Good luck!
