Maybe try seeing some tutors for your classes. They may help you to approach things in an easier way that you have not considered. Or go to your professors during office hours and ask if you are approaching things in the best way.

My college also offered a course called “The Psychology of Human Adjustment,” which was a basic freshman-level course that was meant to be practical to everyone, not just psych majors. It taught some good study techniques, how we typically learn or memorize things best, how to handle stress, etc. Does your school offer anything similar to that?

It might just be the case where you do indeed need to work harder to achieve the same results as someone else. But there are plenty of resources out there to help you.
