How I Study A&P

My personal study routines 🤍

My exams are weighted 75% with 100+ multiple choice and written answers so you bet I’m studying for it 😮‍💨

📎 Mindmaps: organize information

- EdrawMind (free for 100 topics)

My professor has outlines of the chapters prepared for us, so I recreate them through mindmaps so I can visualize and organize the information easier. I also utilize the “notes” option so they function as flashcards— I can test myself on the info if I hover over a topic to reveal the notes (the answer).

📎 Quizlet: digest textbook and create study guides

- Quizlet (I use the pro version, students get a discount)

Worksheets are due on the chapters we read so as I go through the textbook, I input the information in the format of a question:answer as I fill out the worksheet. Then once I get the worksheet back, I do the same by putting the questions and answers. There are also mock exams created by students in the past, so I recreate those as well.

📎 Purposegames: labeling game

- Purposegames (free - limit to 5 per day, 25 per month)

- Canva (free - used to edit out words)

So so SO helpful when it comes to memorizing the anatomy part. My professor also has the exact images of what he’ll be having us label, so I input those and test myself. I use Canva to edit out the words so it’ll be entirely blank.

📎 Whiteboard: information dump

- just your average whiteboard & expo markers

I love my whiteboard. I use different colors whenever I feel myself getting bored to spice things up. When I’m trying to memorize a diagram or chart, I try to write down what I can remember until I get everything right. It doesn’t even have to be legible to me, as long as I retain the information and know how to properly spell the words that means this method is working.

📎 Apps

- CrashCourse (free - they have premade flashcards w cute graphics and corresponding vids on YouTube. I always listen to their videos in the morning when I’m getting ready)

- Forest ($1.99 - you plant cute trees to get coins which you use to buy even MORE trees. I have the BTS trees 🤭 it’s so motivating to see all of my data and how much I’ve studied. It really forces me to study and not go on my phone)
