SO!!!!! I took my A/P test today on the exocrine and skeletal systems. I took the advise of mommycakers and audio'd(sp?) my notes, listened to them all week, and SCORED A 92!!!!!!I am so happy!!!

I also took my time and read and reread the exam questions. Also being able to write on the actual exam helped, so I crossed out obviously wrong answers.

I have a question though now. I didn't use my flash, AT ALL, to study this week. Does this mean that I don't need to flash my notes anymore, that I can just audio and I'll do well? It is much more time consuming and considering I only have about 5 days to study for the next exam, it would help if I didn't have to make 100 flash cards. What does everyone think???

Good for you. Only you can decide if the flash cards help. I find that the more modes of getting info in, the better I am at retaining it. I try to write or type out notes. At least of the high points or things that are really difficult for me. Putting the concepts into my own words helps me so much, because then I "own" them But that is just me.

My micro teacher said that writing notes by hand is more effective than typing - that there is some hand-mind association. That is probably true ... I still typed mostly.

Also - though I will sound like a goof - I put my most pressing notes in a sheet protector, tape around the edges and keep it in the shower! That way, everyday I am reviewing the material while I am shampooing, shaving my legs, etc. It is like I squeeze in extra study time without any effort. When I took Anatomy, I had a lamented skeleton picture on one side and the muscles on the other. I would quiz myself in the shower. Whatever works!

Good luck!
