Posssible to read it in a day? I have been following through with reading relevant chapters before block exams. Now the Final exam is coming up and I want to rip through it once more to give me a refresher. Except for this last block, I have gone through the course lecture notes already, but want to make sure I know all my s hit before the exam. Probably be skipping Endocrine (since I will have read it just recently, and neurophys since that is covered in neuro class).

Anyone done it? I would assume it is worth the effort.
 
I did it in about a day and a half. It'll be a really crappy, stressful day, but you can do it. You probably won't retain a whole lot, though.
 
Yeah, your retention won't be great. It's a horrible thing to try and barrel through, but it's doable.
 
we have our cumulative physio final tomorrow. I've been reading through BRS, reading the explanations and studying the in-house notes. actually I just got back from the library doing all the BRS questions and they're really helpful (imo).

I would say it's "do-able" but imo you're better off reading like 80 pages a day for for four days, then doing a quick review over all of it before the test.

If you're solid with most of the concepts I definitely think you could go over all 300 pages in a day.. it'd be a crappy day though, like MilkmanAl said. I try to make things as non-traumatic as possible because when I emphasize too much studying on the day before I have a tendency to just say "screw it" and slack off but if you know you can put in a solid 12-hour day it's definitely possible.

Thanks for the advice everyone.

I am solid with most of the concepts, I just want a refresher of everything a little bit before the exam so that all the info is floating at the top of my head. I have a histo exam friday, so I have to go all out on it tonight til friday morning. Then I have to worry about Neuro on Tuesday, so I have a good 3 days there. Then next friday I have Physio. So I just have a lot of crap on my plate. 🙁 Probably will try to hit BRS phys over 2 days rather than one.
 
I did it in 3 and even that was pretty rough.
 
Definitely, its an easy read and you probably know most of it anyways. I did it for the shelf in like a day, and it wasn't that bad.
