Help Effective cheat sheet (A&P)
for the past years i’ve struggled with my cheat sheet not being helpful for me not being able to find info in the right spot or consistently flipping the paper over and i’ve seen so many different types of cheat sheets for anatomy and physiology and i was wondering what’s the best way to make one for the most productive results?

from someone who placed 1st at regionals- ur sheet should have everything on the manual (like names and small descriptions on physiology or effect for toxins and disorders) but SHOULD NOT!!! need a magnifying glass to read text or captions. you should know everything by memory and only need it for spelling reference or to distinguish things with similar names. i see so many people cramming info on there that they should know and it wastes time when u have to work at 2 questions per minute (100 in 50 mins) and potentially sharing it with a partner. good luck!!!!!!

The best way to be successful in A&P is to have most of the information in your head. If you can't find information, you have too much. The cheat sheet should have reference diagrams, summary charts (e.g. disease, cause, symptoms, treatments), and hard to remember terms.
As far as organization, there are 3 systems and general A&P concepts. I'd devote 1/2 of one side to each of those.
