Hello y'all I have been lucky enough to have been accepted into medical school for 2017, and I'm going to seriously start studying now. Im going to study for 3-4 hours a day, so as to leave time for enjoyable activities. I'm going to be studying for the next 9 months until next august. I understand that burnout is the biggest risk of pre-studying and that's why I also intend to leave plenty of room for enjoyable activities.
I find it very hard to believe that long term, focused studying cannot benefit me greatly in medical school. Especially since I've looked at my school's curricular design, and some of the books they use. I'm going to start by reading a standard A&P text book, then read Lippincots Biochem and Cell & Mol Bio, and afterwards read Guyton Hall Medical Physiology, all the while using Netter's Anatomy Flash Cards. This may seem a bit ambitious, but remember this is going to be done for around 4 hours a day for 10 months.
I would appreciate if anyone who also plans on pre-studying, has advice on how to go about it, on what books to read, or perhaps wants to share they're approach.
I would also appreciate any and all advice, comments, insults, and death threats. Especially the ones that warn me not to, tell me I'm wasting my time, poke-fun at my gunneristic gunmanship, or tell me how futile my attempts will be. Seriously, don't be shy...
