I have been reading first aid and doing USMLE world questions, and I am having a VERY difficult time retaining a lot of the info. Once I finish one subject, I feel like i have forgotten everything I just learned in the previous subject. :scared:

Is anyone else feeling like this? Any advice on how to retain the material?

i know exactly how you feel. A few days after, I usually start to forget the tiny facts that i felt was so important and even with UW, i go "ahhh" to some question answers and then i'll get it wrong like 10 blocks later. I'm just hoping it stays enough in my head that I'll manage through to my test date. Repitition is the only thing I can think of for which Im glad i'm only using two books (B&W and secrets) - i'm favoring one more than the other because the more familiar I am with it, the better (i hope)
