Hi Liz
I'm in a similar situation to you with the whole over whelmed by study (especially A&P).
What I'm doing at the moment is learning the pictures in the text book. Obviously not all of them as that would be ridiculous, but just the main important ones. Obviously there is no chance that we are going to remember everything (that's why you only need 50% to pass :)).
From learning the pictures you inadvertently learn quite a bit more. When I say learn, I mean really learn. For instance with the heart, learn the diagrams of the heart both inside and out, learn where everything goes and what it does. Once you've done (took me an evening) that most of that large chapter dealt with. You will still need to learn some other stuff but by learning the pictures you learn loads more than you think you will.
This works for me as I need visual prompts to work from. If i'm not sure about something while I'm learning I look it up.
It also helps to set aside maybe an hour each week to go through all the pictures you have learn't as old information seems to disappear quite quickly.
People keep saying it but you need to find what works for you. This method is working wonders for me :)
