How does /sci/ study and retain knowledge?
22 KB JPG
>Be me taking A&P II
>bomb first exam with a failing score (44%)
>study for second exam, go over the cardiovascular system, heart & blood vessels as well as lymphatic system improve but still in failing (62%)

I felt like I had decent enough understanding of functions of the material but during the exam while I was able to retain and answer some questions there was a lot of questions that referred to terms I was not familiar with. This outcome could just be a result of me not taking enough time to properly comprehend and retain material. Anyways anons what study methods do you implement and what has been most successful thus far? (All fields are welcome, medicine, maths, psych etc)

I signed up for a free LLM account and gave it access to my free Google account.
It just works.

I mostly hand write my notes as of now, I could just upload pics as well. I’ve tried similar methods but it isn’t as specific and in depth as I’d like think it’s due to my recording of info

The LLM now reschedules all my meetings so I never need to be anywhere.

Handwriting notes helps. My main way of doing it is reading 1 page at a time, then doing something else that I can do on autopilot, like some cleaning or organizing task, while I mentally review what I just read. I'm at work right now reading about operating room prep/sterile procedures from the textbook in-between washing tables and countertops, and sweeping and mopping.

I also spend a lot of time actively trying to recall the chapter I'm trying to solidify in my memory as I'm driving. This can be frustrating because if I can't recall one little thing, I can't whip out the book and look it up while driving. Anyway, yeah, just keep trying.

This is great for different subjects but I find for anatomy I need more focus more than just listening. I do hand write my notes but usually skip reviewing and move on the next subject which probably isn’t the best for my total understanding

I am an engineer, and for me the best way is to apply the knowledge.

If I am reading a book with a lot of math and equations involved, I usually take a lot hand notes.

U r my doctor, Anon. Seriously, with the shutdown and ACA subsidies ending you're all I can afford. Please, carbonated loam bursts from my poophole 3-4 times a day, mainly after coffee or weed.
