can u guys share some of the study tips that u think work well.i will share a few and i hope u guys will add more
1.reviewing the material every 50 mins of your studying helps a lot

2.if u dont understand something just mark it and go ahead and come back to it after sometime.your brain will work onit by then

3.the most useful tip is to paraphrase the topic after u study in your own words.

4.keep a problems book that u enconter in your daily life that prevent u from studying.this way you know that u will have some problem or the other but now u know where to put it and go on with your studying.

guys please addmore.

(1) Once I'm done with a subject I'd do questions extensively and whenever I fail to answer one correctly, I'd review the affiliated chapter(s) in the textbook so to make sure that I will fully understand the concepts and don’t do the same mistake again.

(2) Draw imaging diagrams, make your own mnemonics (spelling?), songs etc to help you memorizing concepts, especially for anatomy. It’s pretty time consuming but works wonderings, you involve your creative brain process (right hem according to the recent neuroscience) and most importantly you are reprocessing the concept and not just simply reading the book one more time and not involve any thoughts. When you draw your own pics they also tend to get imprinted in your head, and now whenever I’m recalling a concept a pic pops out, and a pic says a 1000 words and fill much lesser place.

Works wonders.

Good luck! wink
