Breaks are usually a good thing.

In a note taking class I remember the teacher talking about how information absorption takes the shape of an inverted bell curve. The x axis representing time and the y-axis representing the amount of information that is absorbed and retained. So short bursts of studying to minimize the negative protion of the bell curve is the way to go.

well studying in bursts for a month and a half has gotten me through pretty much everything except chemistry. I've already gotten through blood bank, micro, immuno, half of hemotology, urinalysis and education and management
i hope it gets me through the test is 100 questions but i need 400 pts to pass

Cool! Which test are you taking. I plan on taking the ASCP next year. Word of advice.... GET THE FRAK OUT OF HEALTHCARE! They pay you shit. I work in the biotech industry now and I am much happier. Much better pay and now bitchy nurses or MD's.

yea i know but thats what i graduated with and i needed the certification to get a job to at least start paying back my ridiculous "house mortgage" of a student loan.
and i took the Medical Technologist test for ASCP

I am now a certified Medical Technologist...with no job:lol

Smoke a few cigs before the exam. It does help with cognitive function. Only in short term.
