How are you studying?

thats a very good quasion cause actually one of my biggest problems was that i didnt know how to study or prepar for the exam all i did was just memorising and repeating.
 
ok if you had 2 weeks for the exam and you had to take at least 65% what would you do?

should i just lock myself somewhere and isolate myself from the world for 2 weeks and study until my energy is finished?
 
Any advice on how to study??? 🙁
 
I would recommend seeing a learning coach. They can screen you for learning disabilities and help you develop better study habits. Also, see a psychiatrist/therapist and get screened for any mood disorders and/or ADHD. If you're depressed, it can seriously inhibit your ability to concentrate and retain information. These professionals will be much more helpful to you than SDN.

That quote also ignores the need to match into and complete residency, pass the necessary licensing exams, not get sued into oblivion, eventually go for BC, etc. It's such a stupid oversimplification.

You know what they call the person who finished last in their medical school class?

you missed the fact that s/he's failing his/her classes, it isn't a matter of graduating last, it's a matter of graduating, period. speaking of punctuation, OP you might want to consider learning to use commas more frequently. Not trying to be mean, but I had to reread some of your post to understand it.

Holy neurotic, the quote is a joke.

I suppose I should avoid sarcasm this time of the year when everyone's pre-med gunner senses are tingling.

I don't particularly like the quote either, but I've heard numerous doctors spit it out during my hospital experiences as a joke.

yeah, i reread your post and it was totally giving off sarcasm, how could I have ever missed that? 🙄

Now that's how you do sarcasm. 😉
 
two years of f's.... well with two years of rehab you can become a DO







The world needs garbage men too.

Pics or it didn't happen! :laugh:

Medical school is difficult. You should seek professional help if you believe you are depressed. Also, a learning coach or even a fellow classmate should help you study for this upcoming exam.
