OK I have a serious problem and it's making me so scared to death..I keep forgetting everything I read or hear. Like for example Pathology that i studied 2 months ago I don't remmber most of it...and also Physiology and now in Pharmacology I have hard time remmbering some stuff i read yesterday..it looks familiar after the first reading But I am scared i keep thinking to go back read pathoglogy back again ebfoe I even start reading Micro ro anatomy or bio first read" not touched yet"!!!
I am panic attack here.. Please help

hey there,

you are not the only one for sure...i have a suggestion....you can try this....when you start your day, don't start anything new,,,start by looking at the things you read yesterday quickly...and the next day too,,,start from page 1 EVERYDAY...so you keep reading everything 100 timesss...the key is repetition ...also read FA again and again... practicing qs will help you remeber facts better too...hope this helps...all the best!

hey passerby. I have the same problem you do. My friends who got 4.0's did what study499 suggested. Reading it all in the morning. That's true. I wish I could do that, but it takes a lot of focus and dedication. That's what Dr. Lionel from Kaplan also suggested. To reread/skim things everything in the beginning. Even if you're just skimming it. Then everytime you go over it, you'll be like yeah I know it.

It's easier said than done. That's what I'm going to do, but like I said, it's easier said thatn done.

Thank you very much for your fast answer.. I know it's hard to do that the problem is I thought of doing this already but it takes alot of time and I feel iam already late but definetly will try to do that though.

this was suggested by a friend of mine who scored 99...so it's worth the try...for me it's hard too...i get easily bored...so sometimes i read thru a topic completely and then reread it right away again...also remember first read is always hard...so hanging on there...when you read ur 2nd or 3rd read...everything is familiar.

I take a lot of notes too, make note cards, sometimes I remake them as I learn more, I make the connections and then add mechanisms in.

Its a lot of work but I think and hope it works.confused
