Hello, im a PY1 who just started pharmacy school back in august. I have dealt with ADHD my entire life and had done well in school. I take medication for it of course but it isn't a magic pill where im all of the sudden rain man (im sure most of you all know lol). Anyways I regularly attend class, watch and read anything pre-class and study everyday extensively. Im having trouble developing a system (the best way I can put it) for what I should do pre-lecture, during lecture, and post lecture, along with spaced repetition, regular studying the older material, and prepping for blocks. It seems some of the questions ive missed are topics I wasn't sure were very important. I have my 2nd set of blocks this weekend and have been studying a lot and just really noticed that with the time I've put in im having I haven't retained the information as well as id hope. The things i've noticed are trouble retaining the in depth details of concepts and remembering them. I understand them well its just keeping things fresh and in my head. Im currently doing good but not as well as id hope for. I know thats its late to apply anything at this point in the next two days lol but im looking for the rest of the blocks. I really prefer to handwrite notes because I feel amongst the various ways ive tried its seems to do me best with the comprehension and the concentration issues.
