Top 3 Studying Tricks for Medical Students
Written by eMedEvents
As a medical student, we know you have a limited timeframe to memorize all the important concepts before exam time. With numerous assignments, projects, pop quizzes, internships, as well as other commitments, medical student life is certainly very stressful. But there is a better way to boost your learning curve instead of just cramming before the test date.
We recommend the following three tricks for studying:
Spaced Repetitionr
Spaced Repetition: To improve your exam grades, you might want to work on both your short-term and long-term memory. When you are attending a lecture or studying a new subject, the information is stored in your short-term memory. Using spaced repetition, with periodic review, you will be able to transfer that information from short-term memory to long-term memory. The trick lies in the format of repetition. Depending on your memory skills, you can review your content after 3, 7, 21, or 45 days from the initial study.
Switching between topics
Switching between topics: Another fantastic way of retaining and recalling information is by merely switching between topics during study time. The idea is to trick yourself into making connections between two subjects to help with retaining the information in the long run. So, when you are reading about a particular subject, switch to another subject after two topics.
This trick is difficult compared to others, however, once the connection is created, the memory becomes a long-term memory. We also recommend that you limit your study sessions to 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, take a break and then start studying again. By spreading your work into short study sessions, your memory recall will be improved.
Learn the same topic in creative styles
Learn the same topic in creative styles: When you are memorizing the same topic, it is helpful to try and review it in different creative formats. For example, write your notes on bright colored paper using blue ink and add images for easier memorizing. Especially when you are doing spaced repetition try learning the topic via video, textbook, flashcards, become a professor, take practice tests, and read your class notes. This method works as the brain gets stimulated by different types of media and this helps to retain information.
