Second time around!!! Help!!!

My experience with A&P has been mostly memorization. Memorizing is not the best way to retain information, but it will get you through an exam. I would suggest that you spend a lot of time in the lab. I failed my first lab exam because I did not physically go to lab on my off days and view the types of tissues under the microscope, view the bones, etc. For the lab, I'd say hands-on (for me) was best. For the class portion, I just memorized and made flash cards.

For perspective, I earned an A in both A&P I and II and maintained a 4.0 for all nursing pre-requisites. Good luck!

I earned 4.0s in all three quarters of my A and P courses. It's mostly just a LOT of memorization. However, if you are a visual kinesthetic learner, a fun way to get your feet wet is to get an A and P coloring book. Here's the link to a great one:

The Anatomy Coloring Book: 978
