All of your sciences are tied together by basic principals set forth by Newton and other physicists. So, it's not like you'll get conflicting information in different classes.

Some sciences, like biology, require memorization. Others, like chemistry and physics, also require practice solving problems.

Always stay on top of your assignments. Read chapter prior-to class, take good notes, re-read chapter(s) at home, revise & complete your notes. Memorize as needed with index cards. Work problems in the book. Many, many problems.

Then repeat the process for the next class. Remember 3-4 hours of homework per hour in the classroom.

You really shouldn't be confused from one class to another. If the science classes overlap -- and they probably will -- then the information should be consistent from one class to another. In fact, the material from one class may even help clarify material from another.

I attended college before home computers were commonplace, so I used notebooks for each class. You can do the sameon computer if you prefer to type, keeping notes for each class separate.

My instructors always said you learn best in three steps: read, then write, then teach. Record classes while you take brief notes. Re-read those notes during your studies and clarify the notes using your tape recording if necessary. Finally, find someone you can review with. Working in study groups works very well, so you may want to start a study group for each class if someone else hasn't already.

If you have questions about studying for a particular class, feel free to ask... someone may can give more detailed answers.

I'm not sure I understand your question. Do you mean someone who is taking several science classes simultaneously?

If so, the basics of all study apply. Take good notes...write down EVERYTHING that is written on the blackboard. Keep seperate folders/notebooks for each class. Work all assigned homework, and consider working extra problems if you have time.

Specifically regarding similar but different classes...general scientific principles will apply to all classes. For example, the law of gravity is always the same, Newton's 3 laws are always the same, etc.

But do not assume that anything you learn in one class will automatically transfer to another. For example, in chemistry, you'll learn about the Law of Mixtures. Well, it doesn't apply the same way in most Thermodynamics problems!

Good luck.

Buy, study, and practice the techniques given in Tony Buzan's book,'The Mind Map Book'. It works like a miracle.
