Take the first letter of each and make an acronym that you will remember. ie. Never Eat Slimey Worms = North South East West\n\nOr you could sing that song...the hip bone's connected to the thigh bone.  the thigh bone's connected to the knee bone....

The best way to learn biochemistry is thoroughly read HARPER and Lippincot once. They will allow you to make your concept. There are many clinical manifestations which can be very easily understood by looking at the flow-diagrams in Lippincot.\n\nAfter you study Biochemistry once in these books, just go for a small book to revise your concepts or just make your own notes from Harper and lippincot and revise them.\nI tried this and got really nice marks in my exam.\nthe most important things to memorize in bio-chem are the cycles of the metabolisms i.e of CHO, proteins, Lipids etc

I memorized by going over and over the material, just spending alot of time looking at it.  Also, exactly like someone else said, I have made flash cards from index cards, write the term on one side and the answer on the other.  I would punch a hole in the upper corner and put them on one of those rings that open and clasp shut.

Start with your notes and texts.  re read what you have been taught then have someone test you.  good luck

One way is to look on the internet for "human body" or "human anatomy" or something close to that.  http://www.google.com/ is the web site that can point you in the right direction.\n\nOne other way, is to ask a teacher at school.  For high school, ask a biology teacher.\n\nWe people are made to be healthy and happy.  So we want to have a sound mind in a sound body.

The history of embalming - start with Egyptians (or further back) - you know, mummies, canopic jars, and the like - move to modern times - go to a local funeral home and ask for a tour (I'm totally serious - they don't get serious enquiries often, so they will usually comply if they know you are serious).\nOr if your goal is to WIN the science fair, go with something in the psychology area (left brain/right brain differences maybe)- questionnaires, skills tests, and such.  You can enlist your family's help with all the "field work," and since very few people enter in this category, you're a likely winner!

Make some good notes, do not just 'read' by making notes you are more likely to absorb the information. Split each subject up into sub-headings so that each element of a subject is broken down into bite-size chunks as opposed to attempting to digest a vast amount of information.\n\nAsk for help if you need it, don't suffer in silence. I failed all my mock exams and was very concerned so I spoke to my tutors who were very helpful and I passed the real exams. Also speak to your follow classmates, they should be able to help you out too or provide support.\n\nGood luck! Overall, just try to understand the material the best you can and don't leave it to the last minute!

There are a lot of memorization techniques you can learn. Decide what kind of learner you are and then think up a technique accordingly. Like if you learn visually, try to imagine a picture to each question. And associate that with he question. An audio learner? Maybe you can make a song in your head or a "pattern" (Kind of like how you would memorize a phone number). There are a lot of things you can do just be creative. Think about the things you learned the easiest and think about why you learned it so fast OTHER then just being very interested int he subject. Good luck.\n\nOn a side note I am an audio learner so if I have somsone speek what I need to remember to me... I have a 70% better chance of learning it... In my opinion anyway. It works for me.

Buy an audio tape with learn tables to music. It will stick in yer brain easier when you have a tune to memorise them by.

Try this , it really helped me in my first few lectures in cell bio , such as DNA and RNA . Loads of animations and stuff ! \n\nhttp://www.johnkyrk.com/DNAtranscription.html

Make sure you spend time in the dissection lab tih the cadavers (assuming you're school still dissects).  Ask the anatomy faculty if they have any graduate students willing to tutor.  We had some who did it for 5 or 10 dollars per hour, and if you do it just once or twice a week every week it will be WELL worth your money.  We would meet with a group of 3 or 4 students, plus the tutor, and go through several cadavers and look at various structures, and he would say "what's this?" then we'd answer and he's say "What's its relationship to______" or he would ask "it lies anterior to ______".  He'd also point to a nerve and ask what is this, what does it innervate, what is the nerve's origin (ie which cranial nerve or spinal nerve, etc), and what are its realtions.\n\nIt was well worth the money!\n\nIf you can't afford this, take a classmate who has a decent understanding up to the lab with you and do the exact samething on your own. -- it's just nice to have the tutor because you spend less time ruffling through manuals and diagrams or looking for particular structures-- whereas the grad students often know what's commonly tested and knows where to look for it.  This technique, if you combine labtime with the quizzing over relations, functions and innervation, will help both your practical and written test score.\n\n\nI assume you are meaning gross anatomy.  As for hisology or microstructure... Couldn't help ya, I struggled with that.  Where are you in med school?

I found the best way to study for my exams was to breakdown everything I needed to know into little topics.\n Then I would get a piece of a3 paper and do big spider diagrams for each topic and draw pictures to help me remember. I used to make up little songs and rhymes as well. Sounds stupid but it work. \nOh and when your in your exam a good tip someone once gave me was: read though the whole exam paper, put a tick next to all the questions you definatley know the answer too. Then question marks next to the ones where maybe you know the answer and a cross next to the one you havent a clue. Then go and do all the questions with ticks, by which time you brian is focus and you will probably have remember the maybe (question mark ones) ones so that when you come to the lasts crosses (havent got a clue ones) one you brian is correctly in gear and the crosses will hopefully be question marks if not ticks!! hope that makes sense. good luck

If you aren't in school and don't have access to a cadaver lab, I suggest the next best thing-- buying two books: "Color Atlas of Anatomy" by editors Rohen, Yochochi, and Lutjen-Drecoll (excellent photos), and "Atlas of Human Anatomy" by Frank Netter, M.D., probably the best medical illustrator ever. And don't forget to by an actual anatomy textbook...\n\nA systematic approach, including developmental biology, helps. Have fun.

Read a lot and try to remember as much as possible/ as many details as possible. Training and training. Practice makes perfect.
