How many hours did you study A&P and what grade did you get?

I definitely didn't study as much as I should, but I did invest in a great boxed set of colored, illustrated flash cards. I think they were about $29.95 and worth every penny- even better than the coloring books.

It was much easier than lugging around my 40 pound book. I could stick a few in my bag and go, and I found that they were perfect to put on the tray on the treadmill and review them as I walk/ran.

Thanks everyone.

I studied about 18 hours a week. I was also taking chemistry though. I made a an A in Chem and a B in A&P. Good luck

I usually studied the week before the test and I would take a weekend day off from work and use the day to study and the day of the test since my class wasnt until in the evening and maybe a few hours during the week if you count labs. I got an A. Test were easy until the last one with the nerves, brain, eye, ear, etc. If you study hard you can get an A. If I can do it you can do it. Good luck! Oh I know labs probably dont count as much as lecture does (at my school it is 25% of your grade) but it helped me to go to other schools website to study their models and do their quizzes those helped me a lot for the lab test, especially the histology lab.

Sad to say but I didnt study much for it. but I did study when I had to take the exams (not as much as others like my roommate though) so yea. I got B+ on both. Both I could have gotten an A if I just studied more or did the extra credit. So my advice is do a little more :)

I spent between 3-10 hours a week and got a A-, so not bad, but now that Im in the nursing program, I wish I would have gone the extra mile and memorized more. I am now constantly going back and reviewing, which slows down my current homework. Plan on it being a pretty consuming class, every teacher is different, but you do have to take in a lot regardless. Good luck!

In my area, A&P is split up so you spend one semester on Anatomy and one on Phsyiology. I am taking a 7.5 week summer course for Physiology right now and at this point have an A. Compared to Microbiology (which I took with a difficult instructor) Physiology has felt like a walk in the park. I spend probably 1-2 hours reading each chapter and then following along during the lecture with the notes provided by the prof. For the past two tests I have spent maybe 2-3 hours studying beforehand and got a 95% & 98%. I wouldn't say that the professor is too easy, as the class average is about 75%, but she certainly does a better job of explaining the material and emphasizing what she wants you to know. I felt like my mircobiology class was mostly self-taught. The teacher makes all the difference!!!

I studied at least 40-50 hours before each exam. We had 4 exams. I made an A. HTH!

Oh my lord Robinelli! Cograts. Did you have any other classes or a job?

I am a full time mommy to my 2 kids (4 1/2 and 1). It's insanely difficult but that's why I take 1 class at a time right now. All I have left are the hard classes. I am taking Microbiology this summer, A&P 2 in the fall, Organic Chem in the spring, and then I am off to the program.

I spent a few hours before our exams in A&P 1, got an A. But I think it helped a bunch that I took biomedical terminology and a type of survey class of A&P. It was an overview of both A&Ps. I thought the teacher in that class didn't teach much but found out quickly that I remembered a lot. Worried about who to take for part 2 and micro. I really heard it's who you get in these prerequisites. I ask around a lot. One teacher can make or break your GPA bad. If we get a C in any of the prereqs we are told to just take it over again. That's why I am only taking 2 classes at a time. I need A's only.

But I think i might have been lost if I didn't take those classes first. I would have had to study everyday.

on a non-test week i studied for around 20-25 hours per week. on a test-week i studied around 25-30 hours during the week. i got an a in the class.

the people in my class who made an a were the people who live, eat, and breath anatomy. when we slept, we had dreams about anatomy. when we ate meat, we were identifying the cell types, tunics, tissue types, bones, and muscles of the foods we ate. we were always in the library, lab, or study room. whatever else was going on in our lives stopped and became about anatomy.

everyone else got a b, c, or f.

here is an excerpt from our syllabus dealing with study time:

i start a&p in the fall and i was curious about how many hours you typically spent studying and what grade you got. i know everyone is different but i am just wanting the average. thanks.
