Don't memorize them. Group them and try to cut them into little words. For example...synthroid, leveothyroxine = you noticed that they are related to thyroid medicine because of the word throid or thyro. I suggest buying Kaplan - it's a strategy book. It helps you to reword the question, also finding clues. There is no way you will remember all. Studying just pharmacology will not help you pass. Nursing is all about knowing the disease and how to treat them. It's a good practice for critical thinking. Knowing what drug works for the disease will help you remember the drug. I hope you pass =D

Hello Ari3sdog, which Kaplan book are you referring to? I mean, what is the exact title or edition? Thank you much! ~Jessica
