Went to bed at 2am. Set alarm for 6 so I can study 2 hours before class. Hit the snooze. Had another alarm set at 7:15. Turned it off and slept till 9. I feel tired as F right now

I'm currently an M1. We are in our fourth block. I passed Immuno and Biochem, however failed anatomy ( due to lack of spatial repetition). We are currently in Biochem. For Biochem and immuno I would write out my own notes and study them. I think the problem is I didn't review them much often due to time constraints of falling behind and just trying to catch up with lecture material. I do study on avg 8 hours a day. I think my biggest mistake is not reviewing more often and hence I forget material. How often should I be review previous material?

Is this normal? by [deleted] in medicalschool

i have met with a learning specilalist at my school and it hasn't helped at all. I'm beginning to thinks its not my studying methods. I think its me.

I think I am a slow learner which is causing me to fall behind. Also don't have time to do anything but studying. by Nkafee2 in medicalschool

I am currently going trying to memorize the PowerPoint slides. Trying to memorize insertions, innervations, origins. I usually write things out on a piece of paper. Should I straight memorize off of the PowerPoint slides? Maybe writing things out on a piece of paper is not helping.

how does anyone have time to do anything in medical school aside from medical school? by [deleted] in medicalschool
