Studying for A&P exams

Published

I have an exam on endocrine, blood, and cardiovascular system tomorrow night. This past week, I have put in close to 20 hours of studying and I'm still not done. It's crazy, but I still don't feel "ready". There is just so much information to retain. :eek:

I was tested on cardiovascular, blood, blood vessels, and immunity together. I actually made a 100 on my test. I studied nonstop. I think I put in over 30 hrs of study a week for that test. I am a single mom, full time student. I live with my parents right now, which is a tremendous help. Just do not stress it. If there is something you do not understand, or you just cant grasp certain material, rewrite it over and over. Writing the material usually makes it easier to remember. Master a section before you move on, and you do not have to study the material in order either. If you feel like studying blood before endocrine, do it. Make yourself comfortable. Once you start bugging it, that's it. You are already giving in to defeat. Take a break, relax. Eat a light snack, drink some juice. Then come back and kick but. You can do it!!!!

I agree with Kamecee, that's exactly what I did and it got me an A in anatony. Make your own flashcards too and take them with everywhere! I also re-wrote or typed my notes, highlighted like crazy and went over them many many times as a study guide. I went from text book to notes, to flashcards. The key is repetition and saturation.....it is a lot of information....it will sink in! Good luck :)

I'm glad I did put so much time into studying for this test. It was TOUGH!

Just over half of the class didn't even show up to take it and only 2 made other arrangements with the instructor because of extenuating circumstances.
