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

1/  Make crib notes of important points to remember...these are good in jostling your memory...\n\n2/  After an hour of study...take a practise test on that subject/chapter...even if it is an old test...this breaks the monotomy of just reading and helps you see what testers would be looking for...so you know what to retain and what is okay to "know broadly"\n\n3/  Mix up your studying with discussion groups with your friends...be serious about it though....agree to read on a chapter and meet and discuss....you will actually remember more if you make the subject/material "come alive". Also a great way to learn difficult material....\n\n4/  Study early in the morning when you are fresh and likely to remeber more then spend the afternoon doing soemthing else....practise tests, discussion groups or just relaxing.

To remember any fact, and especially one in a foreign language, you need to attach a PICTURE in your mind to the fact and words.\n\nFor example, suppose you want to remember that "Ahorn" means "maple" in German. A-horn of plenty full of maple syrup on the Thanksgiving table of the Pilgrims. Picture it! \n\nOr suppose you want to remember that Hydrogen is Wasserstoff in German. Remember that WATER (wasser) is STUFFED full of hydrogen (h2o) \n\nSuppose you want to remember that "Gift" in German means "POISON" and not "a present" --you imagine the wicked stepmother giving you a GIFT of a poisoned apple. \n\nSomething like that. Use your mind to make pictures.

Well, I completely understand your predicament. Wonder if this is your 1st yr in med...\nAnyway, I know sometimes these things get just so darn boring because everything is textbook nonsense until you get a patient to practice on. Even then, it's still nonsense if you don't know what you're looking for in the patient! :o)\n\nHere are a few ways I used follow during the exam times because I used find it sooo difficult to concentrate as well (topics depend on your current level) -\n\na. Draw the anatomical pictures (need not be an artist) and the biochem cycles in your own way that explains what & how things work. As you begin to understand them, fill up where needed with it's physiological/ int. med/ surgical/ pathological/ pharmaceutical etc functions as well. This is so, as you study, you understand everything on the whole in one go and relate to it when a Q is being asked on ANY topic.\n\nb. Stick post-it(s) on your wall stating important stuff (esply the ones you can't remember) so that it's there for quick reference and sooner or later, the notes'll stick in your head.\n\nc. Call up a friend (a knowledgable one, mind you) and discuss what you've just studied or anything that you don't understand. It helps to see things from a fellow student's point of view, thus implanting/ enforcing the material you've just studied in your head.\n\nd. Look things up on the net... they have many sites dedicated to patients, therefore the explaining is easier to understand. May not be too comprehensive, but it helps.\n\ne. When it's time to study for the exams, count how many days you've left, divided by the number of subjects you've to study. Make a timetable; dedicating each day to at least 2 subjects/ topics (one easy/short and the other long/ hard)... Trust me! You'd need the timetable to let you know what you've covered and how much more you've left. It's okay to fall behind once in a while so long you're done studying the most important ones and have a day or two to revise. \n\nHope this helped! All the very best!

Write down a number when you are going to bed. When you wake up try to remember what the number is. As you keep doing this your memory will improve. Also anything that creates new brain cells aids memory so try learn a new language. Brushing your teeth with your left hand also creates new brain cells

Memory is linked to emotional/personal value (think about your clearest memories...usually there's intense sensory or emotional stuff going along with it). Depending on what you want the student to remember, bringing in music, dance, games such as hand clapping patterns, etc. all can help tremendously. Repetition is a big key, too, for fact recall, so drill, drill, drill!

There more senses you use the more you will remember. So if you use your eyes to take a mental picture. You'll probably remember it for a while but if you concentrate on how it smells and/or sounds you'll remember more.

Try Mind Mapping!!!\nWrite all the most important facts that need to be remembered on que cards, study them and then shuffle them and map them back together. That way u will remeber the facts and all the little bits that connect them!!!!!

write little notes on pieces of paper and stick them around your room, on your TV or on your mirror.\nThis is what I did.  That way, you see them all the time which makes you memorize them.\n\nA good website is:

Different people have different ways of memorizing best.  Some people learn best from listening and speaking.  Some people learn best from reading or looking.  Some people learn best from moving, and so on.  Here are some ideas:\nWrite out all the words and their definitions in sentences.\nMake up a dance or a song for each word.\nDraw a colorful chart.\nUse flashcards.\nRecord a tape of yourself saying the words and then listen to the tape repeatedly.

Most people know that the best way to check that we understand something is to be able to explain it to others. \n\nConsider the lessons for us in the following: \n\nWe learn: \n10% of what we read \n20% of what we hear \n30% of what we see \n50% of what we both see and hear \n70% of what is discussed with others \n80% of what we experience personally \n90% of what we TEACH to someone else \nHow do YOU learn/revise? How could you do it better?\n\nWhen you are trying to remember important words or ideas, it helps tremendously to develop brain"hooks" as an aid. These are visual pictures or kinaesthetic memories which link to the word. It doesn't matter how logical, or how ridiculous these are, they can be a great aid to learning.\n\n"Memory men" are well used to using hooks when learning lists of names. eg "Shakespeare"  can conjure up quite an amusing picture which can act as a hook to the name.\n\nTry standing on one leg and tapping your head while you say a difficult to remember name out loud. The chances are that if you carry out the same action a week later, the word will spring into your mind.\n\nRhymes and pnemonics can also be very useful.Most of us remember "Richard Of York Gave Battle In Vain" for the colours of the spectrum.\n\nWe are not all the same type of learner. Learning types can be simply divided into Visual (learn best by "seeing"), Auditory (learn best by "hearing" or Kinaesthetic (learn best by "doing"). We may learn better using one, or a combination of these types of learning.

i'd recommend MRI scan and yellow post-it notes so you can write things down if you need to remember them later.

First you have to spare time for studying and make sure  you understand everything before you skip into another chapter.Try to write what you remembered after you read without looking at your notes

Here are two things that may work for you. I had a friend tell me once that they would study by using the melody of a song. They would take the information they needed to know and memorize in the melody of their favorite songs. This way they knew the melody and words to the song and by replacing the lyrics with the subject they were studying they could remember what they needed to know.\n\nAlso, I had a teacher once tell some tips for remembering things. If he needed to remember a persons name, he would associate it with something to help him remember. If he needed to remember where he put his keys, when he would put them down he would imagine and act as though he was going to slam them right through the table. This way he would remember doing that and remember where he put them.\n\nHe also said he had a trick for studying for finals. What he would do is take the time to right up all his notes from the year/semester for the class. Doing this will help get you started studying because you will remember some of what you type. He would then start to memorize his notes. Taking away more and more as he remembered it until he would read all of his notes back to himself without looking at the paper once.\n\nHope this helps

I've done a lot of research on this issue. The simple answer is:\n1. Adopt good eating habbits: Eat a potato, mellon or such other stuff regularly. It deals with the physical aspects of your memory.\n\n2. Adopt good nervous habbits: This way you can do a work with dedication.\n\n3. Drink water more and more, atleast 8 glass daily.\n\n4. Sleep good enough.\n\n5. Change your reading habbits: like take every question easy....stroll through the stuff before digging into it......and make good revision routine......\n\nIs the answer sufficient?
