S N L D4623-EHRLICH_Chcr_Rev2 4/10/08 4:24:01pm 473 of 496 473 STUDY TIPS Use Your Vocabulary Lists n Photocopy the vocabulary list for each chapter in your textbook and add any terms suggested by your instructor. This creates a study aid that is easy to carry with you for additional review whenever you have a free minute. n Review the terms on each list. When you have mastered a term, put a check in the box next to it. If you cannot spell and define a term, highlight it for further study. n Look up the meanings of the highlighted terms in the textbook and work on mastering them. n When using a list isn’t convenient, consider listening to the Audio CDs that accompany this text. n Caution: Do not limit your studying to these lists. Although they contain important terms, there are many additional important words in each chapter that you need to know. Use Your Flash Cards n Use the flash cards from the back of this book. n As you go through them, remove from the stack all those word parts you can define. n Keep working until you have mastered all of these word parts. Make Your Own Study List n By now you should have greatly reduced the number of terms still to be mastered. Make a list of these terms and word parts, and concentrate on them. Review Your Learning Exercises As your corrected Learning Exercises are returned, save them. As review time go through these sheets and note where you made mistakes. Ask yourself, “Do I know the correct answer now?” If it is not correct, add the term or word part to your study list. Help Someone Else One of the greatest ways to really learn something is to teach it! If a classmate is having trouble, tutoring that person will help both of you learn the material. Use the Practice Sessions The next two pages are answer sheets to be used with the “Review Session” and “Simulated Medical Terminology Final Test” that follow. The answer keys for self-grading of these tests are at the end of respective Sections.
