I'm not sure if I'm dyslexic, but I sure became the queen of study habits in undergrad and grad school b/c I had a hard time remembering things. Reading text books: I jotted short summaries on the margins after every major point so when I go back its not overwhelming. Lecture notes, I divide my note page in half, the rt half is the lecture notes, the left is where I go back & form questions regarding the notes on the rt so when I study for exam, I have a ready-made study sheet in hand. Where there are a lot of facts, I make study sheets where I put all the major points and I take it w/ me everywhere reciting those major points until it sticks. I got all A's in my liberal arts classes w/ these methods. Not so well w/ science, but I passed. Good luck!

Author: Jaimie [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 09:34:50 01/31/12 Tue I am trying to become a nursing and was just diagnosed a few months ago. I find my professors are not willing to work with me at all and are finding my classes to be nearly impossible based on the fact that I can not read the textbooks nor spell the medical terms. Do you have any advice?
