It really helps if you get into the habit of studying every day for an hour or so at least. Make flash cards on the stuff you need to memorize, use blank diagrams to practice on. If your exams are 2 weeks apart and you study every day you'll have a couple of days to review the flash cards before the exam.
I understand your anxiety. We were told the first test is the hardest, then we were told once you make it through bones it's not that bad. Yeah right. So far muscles have been the most difficult for me for some reason. I agree with itsmejulie, flashcards and blank diagrams are invaluable. I go through the flashcards and fill in diagrams over and over and over and over....
there are a lot of websites that may be able to help you out. here is one i found for a friend on allnurses.com: http://msjensen.cehd.umn.edu/Webanatomy/self/default.htm
i haven;t taken anatomy yet so i can't say how helpful it was personally.
good luck!! you can do it!!
