Hi all,
Incoming OMS-1 here. I've learned biochem at various levels of detail 5 times now: twice in high school (honors and AP bio), twice in college (principles of bio and biochem) and once studying for the MCAT. Every single time I probably forgot all of it maybe ~ 5-10 days after the exam: all the intermediaries, enzymes, cycles and how they feed into each other.
Is this just how biochem goes? Has anyone here (students and clinicians, not professors lol) successfully committed biochem to their long term memory? By long-term memory, I mean not thinking about biochem at all for ~ 6 months for instance, and still being able to recall it and write it all down.
To those who have, how did you do it? I'm about to learn biochem for the 6th time, and I kinda want to remember it for longer than a few days after the exam this time.
