Study method Posted by Shamim , at 7:09 AM, in Labels: MCAT, Medical School, medicine, study method

There are many ways a person can study, but there are also many different form of distractions to prevent from one to study enough. Now or days technology has become a big distraction to many. You may not have a TV but you sure have the internet to watch all your shows that you may have missed or use it as your TV. How can you prevent yourself from doing so? Here are some methods:

- Turn off all distractions

- Turn off TV

- Turn off that computer (but still take your time to read my blog)

- Set yourself a goal you want do and accomplish for the day

- Don't put too much on your list knowing you may not be able to complete it

- If you are a student you should study your class requirements first, for each subject for at least for one hour on each subject. After you complete your class stuff you should take a small break, stretch out, get something to eat, or watch like a 30 min show.

* Realize that how painful something is to study is directly proportional to how much you need to study it.

* Go to every class—and stay awake.

* Read all of the material, painstakingly slowly, at least three times over.

* The “gist” is useless; memorization is what counts.

* After you think you’ve memorized something, try writing it all down on a blank sheet of paper. Hmm, maybe not as well memorized as you thought?

* When you quiz yourself, which should be often, make sure you get all of the answers right three times in a row.

* Beware the mnemonic. Mnemonics only work in very specific circumstances. For instance, “NAVY” is a handy mnemonic for remembering the order in which one encounters the important structures in the groin: Nerve, Artery, Vein, Ying-Yang. Most mnemonics, no matter how clever or bawdy, just inspire one to invention. Does that I in “PILES of POOP” stand for Ischemic? Infectious? Iatrogenic? Ipsilateral? Italian? Who the hell knows? I found that making up a memorable saying works much better. For instance, if you drink enough alcohol to affect your liver, there is a tell-tale pattern to the increase in the liver enzymes: the AST, aka the SGOT, is usually twice as high as the ALT, aka the SGPT. I remember this by saying “You AST for it, you SGOT it.” (I know it’s stupid. But it works—I remember not only the pattern, but that AST=SGOT.) Corny tricks like the ones for remembering someone’s name (you know, picturing Mr. Heinz as a giant ketchup bottle, for example) work well also.

* You will never be hip again. Obviously.

* Get enough sleep. Cramming all night the day before a test does not work for science classes.

* Study similar things in proximity to each other. Calculus and physics go well together, for instance.

* If studying something is making you fall asleep, take a power nap.

* I said power nap. Do not let yourself sleep longer than 20 minutes.

* Colorful highlighters and tabs and note cards are festive and helpful—up to a point. Past that point, they become time-sucking OCD rituals.

Good luck following this. This is how my life goes now, no life just study.......
