Well, first let me give you a congrats to getting in your program !!! And secondly let me warn you... hang on to your hat and boots and be ready on for the ride of your life !!!!!! LOL!!! I am a second year student and the thought of going back and doing that first year again is not a process I would ever want to do !!! But seriously, you need to read, read, read and read again !!! Don't rely alone on those power points. You have to know the information in the text and you have to know it inside and out, frontwards and backwards !!!! Most tests come from test banks based on the texts you are taught from so all information is up for grabs to be on a test. Power points are great to give you an idea of what your instructor thinks is important, but the tests are like I said from a test bank. Good Luck !!!
