How to Study For Anatomy Tests

For those of you that are in anatomy, or physiology, you know how challenging of a class it is. I started studying anatomy when I was a sophomore in college. I was swamped with trying to balance my school work with track, and with my friends. Every other class was easy for me to study for except for anatomy. All my roommates were in this class and we all had different forms of studying. We finally all got together and decided to put all our methods together and see if we can come up with some type of studying technique that will help us study for this class.

Step One:

Working in groups Is key. Me and my roommates study together, and this is the best thing. If you have someone to verbally study with and bounce ideas off of then you will learn way faster. Also, if there is a study guide if you spread out the work amongst more people then you will be able to start the studying process much faster than having to fill out the study guide alone. The faster you know what is on the test, the faster you will be able to start studying.

Step Two:

Organize your notes. This is very crucial in studying for a test, especially if its for a class as difficult as anatomy. Once you know what you are going to need to study for, you must organize them in chapter order. Making key notes and re-writing the notes is the best thing to do. If you re-write the notes you will remember things faster than if you just stared at a piece of paper trying to read the answer.

Step Three:

Understand the pictures. If you are learning about the human body it is almost pointless if you don't know where the certain functions are taking place. My advice is to understand all the diagrams and pictures before you start to learn about what is going on. Therefore you will visualize what is going on in the actual spot that it is happening in.
