How do you know if you would be a good surgeon ?
I’m a very good hands on learner and have a deep interest in anatomy and other subjects but struggled when it comes to math and some sciences does that mean I would get bad grades for pre med and med school or should I go for med school?

Hi Addi,
You don't really need to study a lot of math for medical school but you will need to get good grades in science classes such as biochemistry and biology. It is really about doing a lot of memorization and I think pretty much anyone is capable of doing it but it may require a significant amount of study time. Things that can help you pass are joining study groups with other students and paying close attention in class to what your professor is emphasizing. That is likely what will be on the test. Also, meeting your professors during their office hours, sharing your concerns, and asking for their help can also give you a better chance of succeeding. Try to learn about and take advantage of all the learning resources available at the school you attend.
