Or...you could just do what I'm doing and tell that part of the test to "KISS MY A$$!!!" All the more power to you for trying though!

Actually though, now looking in FA and coupling it (no pun intended...the lowest form of humor you know) with your clever nmemonic, I think that I WILL take the time to commit them to memory (I'm sure you're all sooo relieved to hear that). I second the "THANK YOU!" Alex!

Hey, it's a bit self-serving of me since I'm in the middle of this, too. 😉

here's a simple 2 phrase mnemonic that i found helpful in prepping for the boards. it consists of 3 simple parts

"HMV is A1"
= Gq
= HMV (as in the music store) = H1, M1, V1 A1 (and M3 as in the car)

"AMD"
=Gi
=AMD as in the computer chip maker = A2, M2, D2

"all the rest are Gs!!!!!!!"



all the best

oh yeah,
you can reference this infor on p.149 in First Aid for the Boards
Step 1 2004 ed.

laters, y'all.

Yeah... and it's very helpful that they're in alphabetical order too in the mnemonic except for the M receptors which are out of place.
