I used several of the laminated study guides by Sparkcharts and Barcharts. As japanic said; knowing medical terminology is helpful. I have not taken a medical terminology course but I did purchase one of these laminated charts of medical terminology. Kept it in my class notebook throughout nursing school and referenced it often. Just by knowing a particular prefix or suffix this helped decipher many new medical terms.
I can't say enough about these charts. They take the important information on a subject and condense it into just a few pages. Many times even if I didn't purchase the chart I did look it over at the bookstore to help understand the important info on a subject.

One of the most helprul things for our class when taking A&P was to answer the practice questions at the end of the chapters in our textbook. If you don't want to get your textbook too soon, if you have access to an A&P textbook at your college library you might find it helpful to take your knowledge from your studies and use that to answer end of chapter practice questions in an A&P textbook.
Best of Luck to all of you.
