Recently I've needed to memorize a bunch of muscles, skeletons, and organs so I started using notecards... It's really effective and I'm finding myself getting better grades than I usually get.

Yeah, index cards work the best for memory, or just keep repeating it multiple times during the day without trying to cram it all in.

other people? It's been a while since school, but I always found that if I left all the studying to myself, I'd wait until the very last second and perhaps not study at all. Whenever I work with other people, even when we spend most of the time just joking around, I tend to get substantially higher scores. This was very effective in my freshman year at college when my study partner was an attractive girl. I destroyed the curves in my physics and logic class.

Lol, handbone and manboner ;)

This reminds me of my 7th grade health teacher. To make the long story short, he was racist against me. Wati thats not the story. Basically, he gave us a diagram of the body with like 50 parts that I didn't want to memorize. It had a matching thing on the back and each part was labeled with a letter. I asked him if thats the diagram he'll use on the quiz the next day, he said yes. I then asked if he'll keep the questions and letters all the same. He said yes. What did I do? I went home and memorized just the answer part and got 50 out of 50! That was my favorite quiz but I still hate him for being racist to me and always ignoring me anytime other than for that question....*sigh*

I just turn the music on a little and read....
