Pathophysiology...hates me

Please any and everyone I need help. My patho professor gave us our first exam last week and 20 out of 24 people failed. We have NO idea what our professor is looking for and only just got to meet with her today and have a pow wow. How exactly should we be studying because apparently what we were doing was/is wrong. Right now we are on fluids and electrolytes, WBC's, RBC's, hemostasis, and stress. If anyone can shed some light, we would all be grateful. Some things we have tried: note taking, quizlet (about 9-10 different study sets), PrepU from lippincott, study groups, study guides, and comparing notes with each other.

Sometimes it's a different approach to studying. If you memorize it then it's not going to go so well. I used to try to apply it in a real clinical setting with a real patient. Sometimes it makes it easy to understand. Small study groups work as well. We used to take turns explaining everything to each other. It takes a little practice before you get into that mode of studying. Try to focus on the main

picture and what potential questions may be on the test. Obviously how one approaches the questions might pose another problem. Lastly, sometimes it might be the professor. I had a wonderful patho teacher and for that reason I love and need to know the patho behind everything. It annoys my coworkers because I'm always asking questions, but it just make sense to know.
