Very good Ziad, Parasitology does look pretty hardcore
It's just a shitload of memorization..everything related to the medical field is almost purely memory oriented. Some questions require some level of intelligence to tie-in some things together, but that's pretty much it.
I bet if you were out doing something fun instead of studying, you would've gotten a 95 instead of an 80.
I still haven't gotten a single 90 on any exam since I started university. I just don't study as much as I should, and a LOT of professors have talked to me about that because apparently they want me to give my "full potential" since I'm the most "promising" student in class, and they want to see me in med-school. Right, like I'm gonna spend a decade+ more studying, LOL.
I have conducted a study at a couple of different universities for a psychology class to find out if stress was directly related to studying for tests, and my findings have shown that the more relaxed people who studied only the things they needed to improve on and went and had fun before tests and were generally stress free on testing days had a better overall average over those who basically become wrecks from studying so much in so short a time, and with very high levels of stress during testing, didn't do very well, causing more stress and more studying and it just turns into a vicious cycle which will not get better unless the person just stopped everything and said "Fuck the test tomorrow, I'm going bowling." Then they may see some improvement since a mind that isn't clouded with stress, is a well prepared mind. I have actually told a couple people who were med students to take the night off and go out and have some fun. Turns out, they did much better on the test than they expected.
This stress relation thing doesn't work for everybody though because some people have performed better when thoroughly stressed. These people tend to be people who can keep calm during some nasty situations. Like combat engineers who are busy doing something with bullets flying around. Those guys also tend to have some massive balls.

It has nothing to do with stress. The material that I have to study is pure memorization, and if I say "fuck the exam" and go bowling, then I'll tank the exam, 100%. I study a day before, and not even a full day as I spend a lot of time on breaks (eating, watching a couple of The Big Bang Theory episodes...etc). Studying for me is basically writing everything I should know on a word document, which makes memorization way easier. I usually memorize 10 full word document pages in about an hour, maybe less..depends on the material.
it works for bio, but im struggling in pysc atm LOL.
Generally, if you pay attention in class, Bio doesn't require much studying, but when you have to memorize 20+ parasites, what they look like at each frikkin stage, and diagnostically significant traits, how to test for them in the lab, and what symptoms they cause, paying attention can fuck off, and memorization comes into play.

Or is that psychology? I can't help you there. I hated that class.
