just curious, what everyones studying style is.

personally, when i do an audio, i always have to stop in between. to read what the person just discussed. an hour audio, soemtimes takes me 2 hours just because i keep stopping. and then i still have to re read everything.

just wondering what everyone else does, and if they have a good technique to save time. i also started increasing the speed settings on my windows media player so pass program goes by faster. it makes a big difference , their jokes are hurried up lol.

i was thinking now, that for every one hour audio, i do one hour of reading.



another way someone suggested to me was, sit there and read the notes once. a run through to make sure your not too confused. THEn listen to it and glance at your notes along, and THEN read the notes only.

i feel like this is all so time consuming

hi i used to stop the audios the first time i listen them, and i spent like 2 or 3 hours , because i look the goljan slides in the same time .

hi AD , well the owner of this page starbrite she just posted the exactly copy of the audios , in this support forum , i guess she put yesterday , ok dowload that .but i see the slides was around this forum too , months ago

AD , when do you planning to take the exam?

This is what i do

Listen to audio with the slides infront with more focus on the slides and then stop at every 5 mins go back and focus on the Rapid Review add stuff if i feel the need. Then play it back again focusing on the book and the slide and try to visulaise the slide in memory while reading. Its a long and time consuming procedure but earned me the best way to remember the book.

NNL, thanks, thats very good advice, yes even if it takes time, i know, we have to recall things after all.

good advice everyone-thanks a lot.

i was just wondering if anyone has the slides contents. meaning, which pictures correspond to where in his audio/ notes. because it drives me crazy flipping through the picures so many times and getting so confused. if anyone has a system for the picures, id b great.

so far i have the slides, and they are organized by each subject. but the pics aren't in order, for instance they can start off with valvular diseases pics, but in the middle of them it will have hypertrophic pics.
