Thanks

Do an outline with all the main points.
Pick out anything that you would highlight as important.

The above is very true!

Do you know what the subject area of the test is?

Its an Anatomy class

Is the test going to be about lab or textbook work? Or, maybe a combination of the two?

This site might help give you an idea on doing an outline to help study for anatomy

Combination of the 2

What portion of the anatomy is the test over, I may be able to help you. I took A&P a couple of years ago and am now outlining for Nursing.

What book are you using? Would it happen to be Hole's Anatomy & Physiology 10th Edition?

So, is there a certain chapter or chapters in the book that go along with the lab work that you should be prepared to know the information? If so, what are the names of the chapter or chapters, please?

Thank you for your private message. As per your private message, the following is the book and also the areas that you are wanting to study and know about in preparation for the test.

The book is called the Memmler's Human Body in Health and Disease .We are on chp 4 . The chapter is about tissue, glands and membranes

As far as knowledge and preparation for tests in these areas, J_9 would be the expert on this site. As far as being prepared for questions that you don't know will be asked, then my advice would be to get together with some friends who are also taking the class and maybe come up with some questions that you think might be asked and quiz each other on the questions without using the textbook. That would be one way that I can think of to prepare for the test.

Perhaps other will also have ideas that you can use.

Thank you for posting that! It will help others who know about that book and also those subject areas to help you to study.

Like I said in my private message to you, you will get help, it just might not be right now. Some of us are asleep, and some of us like me, need to get to bed.

Thank you for your PM, but please understand that PMs are not for questions and answers, but more for private conversations.

Now, I am not familiar with that particular book. You say you are learning about tissues and glands was it?

What about that do you not understand?

One suggestion is to read the chapter, highlight the important sections, then make an outline of those sections in your own words.

Im trying to find out how can I make a good study guide out of these tissues

Do you have one of these books with you ?

No, I have Holes Human Anatomy & Physiology.

Take your notes from class and follow the chapters in the book. From there make an outline of the important topics.

Good thing you are only doing 1 chapter now. My next nursing test is over 16 chapters. And you think studying from one is hard? LOL, you got it easy girl. You can do this though. You made it this far through the semester.

Can you give me an example how my outline should look. Do I need to define terms also on the outline

I would make flash cards* for definitions and to ID terms and body parts. Also, I would go through the cards several times on my own and then find a classmate or even just a friend to test me with the cards.

Flash cards are what helped me get As in my grad psych program.

*Even printing out the cards is a form of study.

Thanks wondergirl I will try that also.
