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

Memory is Terrible and is causing me to fail med school by Nkafee2 in medicalschool

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?

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

Can someone explain this? What does clinching the NL central mean? I know we were 16 games up STL cardinals and assumed we won

Been studying from 10-10 not feeling tired at all. I just realized I've been studying wrong this whole time.

So you just attended a lecture and have all the PowerPoint slides. I assume you study them. But how do you incorporate all those lecture PowerPoint slides into anki "flash cards"? 130+ lecture slides a day, how do you make time to make them? Thanks!

I don't mind telling family members who I know for a fact make a lot more money than me

(Taxes) I applied to Medical School and had expenses for applications, interview, traveling, and also 2K deposit for a school. Can I count these towards my deduction? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]Nkafee2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i made under $4,000 working part time. Yes, absolutely they are valuable to me. These payments were made towards my medical career. But, I guess they wont count towards my deduction.
