I am getting ready to take my first Human Anatomy and Physiology test on thursday so i am really nervous cuz no matter how cool the teacher is you sitll have to know things in order to pass the test.. :(

I have paid attn and i copied the old tests out so i will try and do them this weekend in order to help me understand it alot more and also do 2 quiizes that he set up for us too do..


Tips for test taking if you have any please share so i as well as countless others can learn..

Thanks

Be silly about the studying, if that makes sense. If I would do cheesy things to remember things, and say them outloud, I would remember it better. I might giggle during the exam, but who cares if those giggles get you the grade!??!

OR... some of the science stuff, I was involved with a girl scout troop at the time. I would do demo things for them and then I would learn it by demo. You have a little one. Educate her! LOL!

I could ramble on and on.

I'm a dork.

thanks for the tips i never wsa good at studying .. i mean i would review couple of days before and that was it .. if i studied i would go blank .. but that was different you know it was only regular chemistry and this is more in depth you know?

Do not study the night before. I NEVER retain knowledge the night before a test. Also get a good nights sleep.

I teach a medical class and I think nothing beats flash cards for teminology and anatomy. Make piles and mix them up and sort them and go over and over them til they are familiar. Even take them with you so if you get stuck waiting at an appointment or waiting for the kiddo you can spend 5 minutes practicing. The brain learns much beter when you incorporate different learning techniques so using pictures, color and sound can make a big difference for a lot of people. Try studying for several shorter time periods rather one long stretch; use visuals - diagrams ect; use highlighters to color code things; say things out loud as you learn them, teach someone else - even your little one - they might not understand but it reinforces what you are learning and they will think you are really interested in them. lol There is a book called "The Anatomy Coloring Book" that is really helpful. It saved my life when I took anatomy and I use it with my students. Statistics show that you should trust your first answer - most of the time when people change their answers they change to the wrong one. Use other info in the test to help you remember stuff so if you see a different question it might trigger a memory for another answer. Hope you like anatomy and physiology - they are my favorites - Good luck

Thanks for that info you guys .. i will make sure i try those tips i appreciate it.
