Kapplan Medical Flash cards. They are amazing! I brought them with me everywhere. I had to do all bones and muscles in one month, same test. I got an A on that test and an A overall for the class. Just have to study a lot! I would write the nam...

Thanks everyone. I'm still kind of freaking out. I seem to do okay with matching when I have a word bank. But I can't seem to come up with most names off the top of my head yet and we start muscles this week! I don't feel confident in bones at al...
