STUDY HABITS

Since our prelim exams will start on Wednesday, I had to pause all my leisure readings and put away those wonderful books. Since our first tests on will be for Pathology and Therapeutic Exercises, I decided to start studying for Patho to knock off some weight from the combined bulk of coverage for the two. I also chose to start with it since I find it easier compared to Thera Ex. So here I am, past midnight, still studying. Here’s a little random fact on how I study:

• I highlight important details on powerpoint lectures using different colored markers.
• If there’s a book reference for that lecture, I would do the same and highlight on.
• Then I compare the two and combine the details, then proceed on re-writing everything on a separate notebook.
• And finally, I would read the ones I’ve written, all over again, for maximum retention.

It’s quite time consuming and tiring, but it really works for me. I’ve been like this ever since college and I think it’s great and helping once you find a study style that suits you. Oh and one other thing, I cannot study without my coffee boost.
