Best way to cram?

[etalns]

It's an anatomy course. I am well prepped for all of my othe rcourses so I can allocate a lot of time to this one.

Any tips, beyond studying all day every day?

21 days? Holy sh!t dude.

 

[QurazyQuisp]

The night before is all you need for most all exams. And attend class inbetween now and the exam.

Okay, well, what's the best way to prepare then?

Also, the new servers are 66 tick. I forgot to take it out of the title. 100 tick lags too much with 32 players.

Step 1: Find hot woman
Step 2: Tell her you need to study her anatomy for this reason
Step 3:
Step 4: Profit!

Read the book, take notes... read book again without notes, read notes & confirm important points... read notes, read notes, read notes.... until the end is here.

Everyone learns differently. It's hard to say an exact method.

Maybe you should read the entire book in a day or two, or maybe you should take a chapter each day.

If it's human anatomy, just hear the word of The LORD:

Ezekiel connected dem dry bones
Ezekiel connected dem dry bones
Ezekiel connected dem dry bones
I hear the word of the Lord.

Your toe bone connected to your foot bone,
Your foot bone connected to your ankle bone,
Your ankle bone connected to your leg bone,
Your leg bone connected to your knee bone,
Your knee bone connected to your thigh bone,
Your thigh bone connected to your hip bone,
Your hip bone connected to your back bone,
Your back bone connected to your shoulder bone,
Your shoulder bone connected to your neck bone,
Your neck bone connected to your head bone,
I hear the word of the Lord!

Dem bones, dem bones gonna walk aroun'
Dem bones, dem bones, gonna walk aroun'
Dem bones, dem bones, gonna walk aroun'
I hear the word of the Lord!

Just finished reading the book and taking the notes on the first portion. It's gone quite well so far!

I imagine by the time I am done there should be about 60-70 pages of pure facts. Cramming that down is what concerns me.

1. Wait 20 days.
2. Panic and use artificial stimulants of some sort to spend the 24 hours leading up to the exam reading every shred of material you have on the topic.
3. Take the exam so delirious you're lucky to know what day it is.
4. Go to bed so exhausted that you no longer care how you did and are merely glad it's over.

you can't cram for 21 days, you will die.

Wait until 12 hours before test to start.

2hours a day every day

as someone remarked, 21 days is not 'cramming'. Not much else to comment as I never took an anatomy class. I suppose there are 2 things you can do; first look at some websites or guides (ie wikipedia, or quick study guides). The other thing to do is to try skimming the material so that you get a good overview. Then as you look over the material subsequent times you can focus on more detail (think upside down funnel).

That is probably what will end up happening

Find a classmate that you can talk to. Ask him the important topics that were covered while you were missing and make an outline. Find each corresponding section in your textbook for the outline. Most importantly.. PACE yourself. Don't get information overload by trying to cram too much in one evening. Make a schedule of what you intend to study for the night, and learn it well.

Depends on other commitments that you have.
If you're jammed full, it might turn out to be :

B - Bend over
C - Chalk outline
D - Dicked

Is this medical school anatomy. Or some other kind of general anatomy. If this is some kind of undergrad course, don't sweat, most undergrad exams are straight forward. If this is a professional school anatomy course, 3 weeks is still plenty of time.

I am in medical school and I use to study for the anatomy exams with less then 3 days to fully study.

Best way to study for anatomy would be visually, just reading about all the structures will not help at all. Pick up a a medical anatomy review atlas, and go through that. If your school has note taking service, buy those notes and skip lectures (of course don't skip the labs). And do a little everyday, get the big picture first. During the last week memorize the details. The day before the exam take practice (pretest is good) question to actively put what you memorized to work. This allows you to think about the material in different ways (very important). Don't try to cram in info you don't know before the day before the exam, if you don't know it by then you are screwed. The day before its best to reinforce and strenthen the knowledge you have acquired. Then day of the exam, pray and hope you did everything you could to be at or above the curve.

Like I said my advise is more for medical anatomy where failing means a debt teh size of a house mortgage, if its general/undergrad, you still want to do well. So study hard and be efficient, but don't stress. Its only undergrad, live it up.

By the way what school do you go to? Since you are taking anatomy are you interested in medical school?

Most exams at Univeristy level require 1 week intensive study if you NEVER attended that class.

If you did go to class, 2 days are plenty enough

When you don't go to class it's harder since you don't know WHAT the teacher really put her / his time on so you kinda have to study more and not the principal objects.

I got my BAC degree w/o attending class and I don't recommend it to anyone, go to class...sleep in it if necessary, you'll end up saving more time and sleep at the end

Good luck

The stat I have heard myself is 100 hours for an exam you are not prepped for at all.

Unfortunately I have two of them should have about 125 done for each by the time they roll around.
