See her for office hours and really pay attention to what she wants you to know. As someone above stated, you do know what her tests are like. Sometimes, as I'm reading I try to think of questions...
In response to 2bRNatasha85, I failed Pharm last semester, but now I'm getting like a B+. My teacher kept saying don't memorize, think through the drug. I didn't understand what she meant by that last...
