How to stop being overwhelmed in pharmacy school ?
I'm in pharmacy school and it's intense. The material isn't necessarily hard, but it's just that sometimes the volume of information is presented to you in a way that you feel like you're drinking out of a fire hydrant. It's very much, with very little time, and is overwhelming to me. Usually, we have our test either every week, or every other week, with intense classes like therapeutics. Half the time when I'm studying I find that not only am I overwhelmed, but since there's 8-10 Power-Points each with anywhere from 2-50 slides I am having a hard time with narrowing down the information to what is important. There's no way I can memorize everything. And most of the questions on the exams seem as though they're from blunt memorization rather than understanding. I need a new game plan cause obviously the one I currently have isn't working at all. They say insanity is doing the same thing over time and time again and expecting different results, so I'm trying not to be insane anymore, haha. Help!
