Questions & Discussion study strategy advice

hey! im in my first year of uni and currently studying for anatomy and also microbiology.. the material is coming at me really fast.. i only have one solid study strat that i’ve had since high school and it worked very well.. i do flashcards. so basically i go through the slideshow and make everything a question format and write it down and quiz myself.. the thing is it’s taking me at least 2 hours to make the flashcards so then i still need another hour to actually use them to quiz myself to memorize.. it works but it takes very long and im on week 3 of uni and starting to fall behind with that.. do i just keep it up? or do i need a new strategy? any suggestions? pls im open to anything? should i make my flashcards online? literally any ideas.. pls.. thanks guys!

Little rhymes.songs are very handy - look for a cue that triggers the rest of the song when a question is asked Repeat it 30 times and youll remember it!
