Nervous about retaking pharm

[Geminichilde]

I failed pharm last fall and I'm about to start the class again on Wednesday. In my program you have to maintain a 75 test average and last year I had an 68 average. I'm just really scared that I'll fail again and then be booted out of the program.

Anybody have any tips about retaking pharm?

I bought Pharmacology Recall. The book comes with access to audio files. I burnt the MP3s on CDs and listen in the car. Because I drive 30 min each way to work that increased my study time by 1 hour a day. I'm also a verbal learner so it sticks better hearing it than seeing it written. Figure out how you learn best and get to work NOW so that you don't get behind. I also got a headset/microphone for my laptop and record my notes and burn them on CDs. Find a study group. It makes a big difference. Start with classes of drugs and go from there.
