Forums IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ PhotoReading, Memory Optimizer Studying Multiple Subjects

###Note: I posted this in the Memory Optimizer section, but decided to paste it here when I got no reply.###

Hi,

I am studying physics, chemistry, organic chemistry and biology concurrently for a medical school entrance exam.

Is it better to study each subject-
A) independently from start to finish, one at a time (as I am doing now); or
B) Split up each of the subjects, and study a little bit of each at the one time (e.g.: A chapter.)

Is there any research out there on this topic? I could see a journal submission for the right person! :-)

BTW- I use photoreading and mind mapping to do each chapter individually, would activation likely to be interrupted if split up the subjects?

Thanks.

Always break it down to manageable size. Whether that's one subject per day week or hour it's up to you. I usually do a good chunk of one course before I start another.

Ultimately it's up to you because it depends on your learning style. Some kids can stay with one thing all day others need a new activity every 30 minutes. Adults are the same. You're in charge of your studying do what you find works best for you.
