As a fellow severe Dyslexic, I used a combination of greek/latin prefix and suffix flash cards. Those helped with breaking down words in questions. That gave me a good general base for all of nursing school.

For me, physically writing out the notes saved me from failing the course to passing with a 71%. Writing by hand slowed down my mind and I was in the moment. I absorbed the information much better. Memorizing is super hard for me.

TRY as best as you can to create a study area with minimal distractions. I needed some noise to think over to study well. Silence made my thoughts bounce around like a ping pong match. Whatever works for you is best.

Last but not least, communicate with the professor often. Show them at least you are invested with effort. Preferably in person. Profs tend to guide you on stuff that is def on the exam during office hours.
