ugh! bone overload!!!

I know this is just the beginning, but sheesh! I simply can't keep these straight! I've got power points (where our computer test images are coming from), ap revealed, textbook, 2 lab manuals to look at. I've (tried) drawing and labeling my own, made multiple copies of lab figures to label over and over and over again, done many online activities....anything else I could try???

just focus and try to love the material. If you have a passion for something you will learn it no matter what. going to the lab and playing with the bones is a must as well. When i learned the bones i thought of my chiropractor and how he knows all this stuff, somehow this helped me get through, i got a 96 on both the lecture and lab exams on this stuff

I am sure you have had your bone exam by now. However, I found the best way to get it down is going over it many times. The next thing I do is try and teach it to my wife or discuss it with my mother inlaw. Anything that you are trying to learn you need to try and make connections in your mind with something else that you already understand(know). By making connections you will retain more after you are done too.

I started with the skull and worked down. Muscles should come easier once you get the bones down, I thought so anyway. I got a 114.5% (extra credit) on the bone practical and a 110% (extra credit) on the muscle practical.

All of the ways mentioned are good. Someone said this and it is Sooooooo true, if you have a passion for something you will do better. Try to not think about how difficult it is to get everything down, but how awesome it is that you are learning so much about the body. It will help! : ) Good luck!!! :):):)
