I'm currently finishing up my second year in med school (osteopathic medicine, a little different from osteopathy down under) and will be getting the results from the osteopathic board exams any day now, for which I spent about three plus weeks studying for. Now, considering the fact that I have a learning disability in the area of transfering inforation into long-term memory, that's not a long time to prepare for a two-day, 800-question exam.
Essentially, I PRed everything I was using as text, and then did a slower version of super-reading/skittering. I still PR everything that I have to study (granted that isn't much right now) and then go back over it, but I seem to be getting something out of it, as evidenced by the fact that I am actually passing my emergency medicine class for which I have at least 50 pages to read each night to be prepared for a quiz before we get lectured to. Give me a few days and I'll let you all know how it went for the board exams.
