Phew, the May issue is packed to the gills with content for you (Not to worry, there’s an audio version available for easy consumption).
This month we are covering two excellent issues: One is Heart Failure. The other is a marvelous method for memorizing and remembering. I use heart failure as a backdrop to exemplify this stupendous study technique.
More specifically, inside the pages of the May PAES Newsletter (which you can have shipped directly to your mailbox by following the link below) you’ll learn:
· Why heart failure is the single most important topic if you want to get oversized scores in cardiology. (Page 17)
o What the most important signs and symptoms are for testing well on heart failure questions (Page 16)
o A study hack I have never taught anywhere before. I use it so frequently I didn’t even realize I was doing it until I caught myself while studying for my Basic Life Support test. (Pages 4-6)
· A way to mentally categorize the information you learn so that it’s easy to find later. Picture walking through a well-organized library. You simply stroll up to the right shelf pull off the right book flip calmly to your answer and move on. This makes test taking an almost pleasant experience.
o One method I use to be the first one done on any exam. But, being first doesn’t matter – what matters is not feeling the panic as you start to run out of time. (Pages 5)
o Step-by-step how to create Data Sets of information that will have your classmates in disbelief at how much you can retain between your ears. (Pages 4-6)
o Two not-so-secret ways to hold onto information longer (Page 8)
o A complete walkthrough of heart failure. I’ll show you exactly how I tackle a topic like this, and, from now on, you’ll get a warm feeling inside when you see a question on heart failure. (Pages 9-15)
o Study habits that will remove at least a little of the tension during your exam. This sort of thing is how you avoid the Downward Spiral of Doom during an exam. (Page 19)
Alright folks. The end draws near. Tomorrow is April 30th and the very last day to sign up to get the May edition of the Physician Assistant Exam Scholars Newsletter. Click here to speed up your test taking and your studying.
