How do I start studying anatomy?
Thanks for the A2AWelcome everyone to your guide to Human Anatomy & Physiology! This book covers the following topics: body organization and terminology, chemistry of the body, cell anatomy and physiology, tissues, integumentary system, skeletal system, muscular system, nervous system, brain, spinal cord, sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system, and senses. I have been teaching college level human anatomy and physiology for many years, as well as other courses. My other classes taught have included: pathophysiology, biology, zoology, microbiology, and others. I have learned through the years the best ways to learn the most information in the least amount of time. This guide will give you the important information from the chapters, which will be what you are most likely to see on an exam. Sample questions will be included, which are also the most likely for you to see on an exam. Note also that this book is not a guide for A&P lab. This book will cover the topics needed for the first half of a two semester college level Human Anatomy & Physiology course.
What should I do? How should I start studying?
Hey Friend,The number one reason why we fail to study efficiently is: we are too overwhelmed with different type of thoughts. If you wish to study more in less time, please read below:There are some smart hacks that will help you focus on studies and trick your mind to study effectively. Follow the steps mentioned below and do not find any reason not to follow them!Do not ever think that you have to 'study'. Just think that you have to do a few things as a part of your daily routine. That's it. Take it as a game :)Start reading things in your syllabus for a particular subject. This will not help you to prepare yourself completely to be able to write answers perfectly. However, it will surely help you to get an idea about most things and concepts. When you read first, only 1% of what you read will stick in your brain. When you read it twice it will be 4%, and so on. Continue to repeat this for a few times (you decide the count - 5/10 whatever). Read stuff loudly or silently, or make a song of the content that you read- whatever way you want to but read it. Just run your eyes through entire content of the subject that you want to start with.Then, once you do that, practice drawing each diagram and writing each answer and repeat this process. Write answers (just copy them from your textbook to your notebook, that's fine!). Though you would not understand the subject matter completely, some 20% or 40% will stick in your brain. Then repeat it until you are confident to recall a few keywords that you can remember to elaborate in exams.These steps will help you reduce your anxiety, improve your confidence and inspire your mind to forget that you once hated studies. If you score good in your next exam, you surely will! :)If you wish to kill procrastination forever, and discover amazing secrets to trick your mind to study as effortlessly as you would play a video game, please check out my book:How To Enjoy Studying & Make It Your Favorite Sport: Mind Hacks To Finally Kill Procrastination and Start Studying Like You Are Playing A Video Game[ To buy in India: http://goo.gl/mSpTXO || In US: http://goo.gl/pUKcIg .

When should I start studying for the ACT?
I'm a freshman right now and plan to take it for the first time in October during my sophomore year, so I was just wondering when would be a good time to start studying in order to be fully prepared. Also, should I take classes during the summer? Or should I self-study?
Is it never too early to start studying for the MCAT?
I started studying WAY too early. I signed up for a kaplan course 7 months before my exam and was about to go crazy from it before the exam. Each person is different so I think the best thing to do is take a practice exam a few months before the actual test and see how well you do. If you're a good test taker you may not have to study as hard as a bad test taker like myself. You should start "studying" your freshman year by trying to understand the material as best as possible because learning the second time is much easier if you had a good grasp on it the second time. Personally, the kaplan course was a waste of time and money. The books were huge and there was no way I was going to keep all of that information in my head...too many facts! I found the Exam Kracker series a month before the exam and my score went up immediately! They're not very thick but they don't beat around the bush~just tell you what you need to know and nothing more. They may not work for everyone, but they were a lifesafer to me! The only advice that works for everyone is to take as many practice tests as you can before the exam. Most of the questions have similar patterns from test to test and if you take enough you'll be able to answer the questions correctly and at a faster rate. Good luck!
When do you start studying for exams?
In order to encode the exam material in your long term memory, then you would need to rehearse the material multiple times. I personally feel that if it's something that needs to memorized then that should be studied ahead of time, a week prior to the exam. But if something like a math exam then it's ok to study for it two days before the exam. The studying habit actually depends on how you feel about the exam material. If you feel confident with the material then you should just glance through it a day before, but if are not sure on some concepts then you should study that ahead of time. hope this helps! it works for me..
When should I start studying for the SAT/ACT?
I'm in 9th grade too, and it depends on what kind of score you want. I took the PSAT this year, so if you haven't taken it yet, don't worry - I swear it is super easy! Way easier than you would expect. If you want a national merit scholarship, start now. In order to get commended, you will need at the very least, a 2000. (If you are African American or Hispanic, it is less, just because on average, they test lower, so there are special scholarships for these racial groups. You'll probably just need like an 1800 or higher then.) NOTE: These awards are for the PSAT, NOT the SAT. That is for the PSAT in the fall of your junior year, so start now if you want National Merit recognition. I am taking my first SAT prep course over this summer, because my parents are super harcore about it, and they want me to do really good. I went on a college tour earlier this year, and at one of the schools, here is what they told me. "The SAT is a test of how well you test. The ACT is a test of what you know." Also, the SAT doesn't have a science portion, and the ACT does. You might want to take both, just because some people do really well on one, and bad on the other. Also, you should take them each a couple of times, because most schools will take your best score. And for SAT, they normally take your best reading, math, verbal, etc. Score and put them together. So If you take the SAT twice, you might have a slightly better score in the eyes of college admissions. It depends on where you apply and want to go to college, how important your scores are. They aren't important at all to some schools, and are super important to others. You should just try to get the best you can. The practice test for the ACT is the PLAN, and I think you should take that in 10th grade too. If you aren't already taking it next year, then ask your college counselor about taking it.
When should I start studying for my IGCSEs?
I suggest you study a different subject each week, it'd be much better like that and will give you plenty of time to work on the subjects. But leave a week to go through everything before your exam. So start revising at the start of April. Hope this was of help and good luck with your exams.
When to start studying for AP exams?
Pay attention and participate in class. Do all of your assigned homework and make sure you understand it. If you don't understand it, make sure you see your teacher and/or ask questions in class. You should begin building learning tools (flash cards, note outlines) now if you haven't already, but there is still more coursework to cover, so don't overburden yourself. Your teacher will let you know when to start studying for the cumulative exam.
