how to study for pharmacology/how often

My method for studying all of my classes is the same - about 20-30 minutes per class 2-3 times per day, every day as a constant review. I review the pp, and I review my own notes. Then 2 -3 days prior to a test/quiz I re-write my notes, then review the text corresponding to the pp and notes from lecture. I do this each day, 3 days in a row before the annoucned test/quiz. I cannot sit for hours on end studying, I lose interest and get antsy, so I break it up. It works well for me. When I struggle with something I write it over and over and over until I get it. I use my own notes, plus the pp, plus the text to get like 3 different perspectives on the same material, which also helps. I have pharm now and A&P 2 and have a perfect 100 average in each class.

There a lot of ways to study for Pharm.,and no one way works for everyone.Many people use flashcards, however they did not work for me. I did mind maps, if you don't no what they are, google it and there are several good images.I would create a mind map for each class of drugs, with there action,SE,and implications. I read the chapter and highlighted as well as reading the outlines. The night before the test, I read the outlines and maps several times before going to bed. That is how I got an A in Pharm. Also, make sure you save your notes! You will need to refresh your memory frequently during clinicals.

Thank you for advice. I think I am going to drop program despite only one bad grade on test.

I'm glad you started this thread because I am starting pharm soon and I have heard some bad storied about so am a bit nervous.
