OMG! A&P!

Hey all! Hope you all are doing well. Well, my problem is I'm doing horrible on my lab practicals! I have done great on the quizzes and I can name all the required body parts. However, when it comes to test time I'm a total nimrod:banghead:!!!!! WTH??!

I have no idea why I'm having this problem. All other classes are going smoothly and I really love my A&P class! I could talk all day long about cellular metabolism. It's something that just fascinates me and always has since I knew I wanted to enter nursing.

What gives?!? What could possibly make me flub up so badly?!? Are there any techniques that any of you have that might help me improve my test taking skills? Any suggestion is greatly appreciated!!!:kiss

Thank you in advance!

what type of questions are you getting wrong? One trick I learned is to flip your flash cards over once you know the definitions to all the terms and be able to identify the words from the definitions. Sounds stupid but it can make a difference. Good luck.

How is your instructor testing in lab? Are you looking at pictures and models and labeling parts?

When I did lab we were tested by labeling the parts indicated by a flag. We had to know exactly what it was. The only way to study was to review with pictures and diagrams and practice labeling blank pictures.
