Anyone ever use freemind or any other type of mind mapping software for studying? If so is it useful? Do you think it would be useful for medical school?

I use MindManager. I think it's useful for my studies, especially OChem. I'm not in med school yet, so I don't know about that.

I think a lot depends on how you think. If you're a visual thinker, you'll probably find it pretty useful.

Think of it as power point, but instead of flipping from slide to slide you have interconnected branches . . . so if power point is 1-dimensional (forward and back) a mapping program lets you make little slides, notations, subpoints, whatever in two dimensions, basically anywhere on your screen, and you can connect them as you wish.

I'm much more of an auditory learner so it doesn't really do it for me.
