My pharmacology Final Exam is in Exactly 3 hours. I read the drugs about 30 times till now. I am fed up with them. I know what I know but what I do not know is just not sticking in there!! There is just no more use of reading anymore. I feel at the point where If I memorize anything else, old info will fall out of my hippocampus! What should I do? I have three hours to waste. I am having that empty vacuum hopeless yucky feeling right now.

Mundane doesn't stay in Memory. Any thing that doesn't stay in your memory is probably not different enough to register in your neuronal synapses. You already have one key to good memory - REPETITION. But one more thing that will greatly help in memory is to make mundane things look unique, I am sure you know this can be done with mnemonics.
For ex: spectrum of antibacterials
Drug A - Gram negative rods, Gram positive cocci
Drug B - Gram negative rods, Gram positive cocci, Few anaerobes
Drug C - Gram positive cocci, Most anaerobes
See how mundane the susceptible bug list is. These kinda things are tough to memorize. So to make them unique you have to create a mnemonic for each drug that can sound unique.
A-NR-PC
B-NR-PC-A (since NR and PC are common, it will be easy to remember like this -
B-(A:NR-PC)-A
you can get as creative as possible, no limits.
And finally, whenever you feel like the old info is fading away - JUST REVISE.
Don't lose hope man, if one can do it, the other can do it too.
I hope this website can help you - www.supermemo.com

I woke up to a small 'clink' on my face, the paint on the ceiling was chipping off in flakes. Dragged myself to the sink in the bathroom and opened the cupboard searching for my toothbrush when i cut my finger on the razor that was lying next to the brush. Put a bandaid, got ready and exited the front door when the flowerpot from the balconey above fell on my shoulder. Dizzied by the falling pot, I tried to cross the street when a speeding car rummaged through me. Opened my eyes again to the same chipping paint from the ceiling, but this time I was in the hospital. Thought the doctors will make me feel better but the hospital building collapsed.
Just because I was in there.

Medical education is way too fast. We should have five years instead of four. Just my rant about how rushed I feel when taking certain classes. No time to really enjoy them

I am so done with this crap. I want a life, I want the highlight of my day to be more than checking the mail. My days have turned into the schedule of an 80 year old who eats dinner at 4 pm and yells at the tv about "today's youth."

I feel the same way SpeaksSoftly. Everyone of my friends calls me an old man because all I do is study, eat, and sleep.

What a utterly stupid time to introduce the new software for CK. Out of 12 months of the year to bring it on, they choose the one that's right before applications month! I'm so upset with ECFMG! They brought out AV qs last year in both Step 1 and CK, I thought it was fair game, and I have no complaints.
But this one is too much. I'm working on my apps, my PS, and CK. This very significant delay [not to mention getting used to a new software] is just not fair.
And, I'm not even a whiner!
^%&$#@*^%!
