A&PI&II cumulative final!!

ErikaMarie · Dec 13, 2008

Know your hormones, chemistry, & digestion... There's really no way to actually prepare for it. It had stuff on it my teachers never even talked about. I'm not sure my actual grade but the average is like 51. My teacher curved it & I got a 71.

has anyone taken the cumulative final over a&pI and II?? and can give me any study tips or examples of questions on the test?? i'm jw how detailed the questions will be. any comments are appreciated:) ..i'm stressin out:(

I don't know how soon your exam is, but if you have time, TALK to your instructor. A good instructor will be willing to meet with you and provide study information to prepare for a final exam. My instructors used to pass out the old tests, and we would all study from those. Some of my instructors would even run through the exam, and let us know the "important" things that we should absolutely look over.

I've had some instructors who would put material on the exam which we did not discuss in class. It's very unfortunate, but there is not a whole lot you can do in that case. Prepare the best you can. Break down all of the material you need to study, and take a section of it each day. Review the material on a regular basis, until you are familiar with it. Make index cards with small pieces of information on them and carry them with you everywhere!!

Good luck.

For the most part I would suggest knowing how all the systems you've studied so far hang together. For example, if your teacher wants you to write about the temporal bone, then know what muscles it attaches to, what nerves run through it, etc... so that you're combining skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems. Integrate integrate integrate!
