Glad the tip was helpful, Carol!

About your comment on studying - activating. Maybe it's a question of realizing that activating IS studying? A more active was of working with the material than looking at notes? In any case, there was a thread from someone who was studying veterinarian textbooks some months ago. Maybe if you could find that, it would help you to structure your study time since the both are medical science related fields. Best of luck with your new (old) career!
