Flashcards

I preferred Netters.

Good day, MommytoMommy&RN2b:

I purchased Kaplans, and they ended up spending most of their time in the box. I found creating my own flashcards to be more helpful.

Thank you.

I use to teach at a proprietary a school and I became really good friends with the instructor who taught medical terminology (A&P). He's been teaching for 13 years and he said the students who creates their flash cards struggled less and had a higher pass rate. Not to say the ones who buy always fail, but he said the material sticks more in your head when you create them. Hope this helps :)

I have these

Anatomy Flash Cards (Barcharts Publishing) - Perez - ISBN: 978-1-4232-0423-7 | Neebo.com

I bought them at half price books because I didn't really want to spend an arm and a leg. There were honestly only a couple of sections that I even used them on. I made my own labeling diagrams and flash cards......actually actively doing helped me retain the info better than looking at premade cards. I did use these to have a labeled visual while I was reading or going over my notes. I think they are great to use along with other methods....but I couldn't have depended on just these....if that makes sense....

I purchased Kaplan flash cards, but they were far to advanced for what I was needing. I found that making my own was much easier and cheaper. I also used quizlet, there you can make online flash cards and test over your own info. Pretty cool stuff.

I made my own and used quizlet. Quizlet was my mainstay. You could play games, etc.

The material tends to stick better and costs way less if you make your own flashcards

I have the Kaplan ones, and barely used them in A&P I, mostly because I found the models to be so different in our lab. I did use them quite a bit in A&P II though. The systems we covered in that class are basically the same as the pictures. I did get an A in both classes. In A&P II we only had to lab tests, which I got a 98% and 103%, and that was using the flashcards quite a bit. Honestly, the thing that I used the most in both classes was a good Anatomy coloring book. I would chose the coloring book over the flashcards.
