hi everyone, i just recently signed up for medical school & im wondering if anyone has any study tips?? i dont know if its because my brain has been out of commission for a while ( due to not being in school for about 20yrs) but i just cant seem to retain any information. no matter what i study, by the next day, it's gone. help, anyone...

Keep your work as organized as possible. I find that just taking the time to sit down and file things away properly helps me remember them. And if you can reread your notes either the night you wrote them, or the morning after. But don't just read them in your head, reading them outloud will help loads. Don't worry too much about learing things if you're just starting, as long asyou work hard, I'm sure you'll do well.
