I’m doing a year & half of post-bacc-pre-grad too, since I’m going into a program that has naught to do with my current degree. This semester only have 2 actual classes I have to go to; I tested out the rest at a different school and they’re accepting the results as transfer credit. I’ve never not been a mama college student; I started college at 17 with a 3 month old baby. I don’t know if I have any good advice because school was never my primary focus…I always had a kid or kids and/or a job as well as being a student. I’m going back now with a full-time job and a business but I think it will be easier than back in the day because now my kids are so much older. And the pre-requisite business is stuff I have to have on paper, to ‘prove’ I can hack the doc program, but it’s all stuff I’ve been reading and studying for years on my own just cause I like to, so things will be pretty smooth before I have to get my study grind on. Big helps:

-flash cards
-skipping non-essential classes
-study groups
-devoted daily study time
-looking up old quizzes/tests/exams in the library, you’d be surprised how many professors never/rarely change this stuff!!
-old school, a mini-recorder of lectures, play it later while you sleep
