Bah 42 hr is more than enough time.

it's a lot of memorization right? use mnemonics, make up stories about terms, basically link stuff together.

I'm trying to do visual images and stuff now. Mnemonics take way too long, though!

Get off ATOT, idiot.
That would be a good start I think. Could be wrong though, posting on ATOT may help you learn about anatomy....

42 hous is plenty, but its incredibly difficult to not take long periods of rest...so you only get like 10 hours

Any reccomendations on how to go about attacking the material?

I've found it hard to keep myself working at it for so long.

When I have something like that I divide it up into sections and just try to pace myself and do one at a time. If you get bored, you get to treat yourself to changing to another section! woo.

what kind of anatomy?

poorly worded i know but i think you should get what i'm saying

 

[SportSC4]

do you know the materials... at least somewhat?
mnemonics are very helpful (ie. http://www.medicalmnemonics.com/ for starters)
and go to the library. that's right, don't stay home, go somewhere else. hell, go to a library you don't normally don't go to. the less distractions, the better. take a couple drinks with you and pretty soon you'll find yourself able to sit and study for a long time.

You need to think a little less conventionally. Go find a nice, attractive woman. Tell her you only have less than two days to study for an anatomy exam, and you could REALLY use her help. Enjoy!

Good luck on your exam.

Find some wimmins in the class, and invite them over to study. Point out all the parts on them.
