Even if you aren’t competing in these specific events, all the advice can still be helpful for you! Enjoy! :) General tips from Sneha ● While using Quizlet sets can be helpful, oftentimes the ones you find online aren’t complete, so it is highly recommended that you at least buy/rent one of the books listed on the resource page ● Find your own style of studying!​ For her, she read one chapter a week and took notes in a separate notebook. Afterwards, she reviewed and tested herself on the previous chapter as well. But for other people, it might be helpful to create a Quizlet set, use Cornell notes, highlighting/underlining, etc. ● Make sure you have a ​study schedule​ ​and spread out the material! You don’t want to be cramming everything last minute and make it too stressful for yourself! ​(Input from Claire: I recommend using your planner, google calendar, or an app called Notion) ● Make sure you​ memorize lists!​ And the details as well! Sometimes, the questions can be really tricky and almost make you guess because the answer choices all seem so familiar so make sure you fully understand it! ● For most knowledge tests (with an exception of few), they are all ​straight-forward multiple choice questions. ​You either know it or you don’t. ● Make the studying fun for yourself! Maybe watch a video about the topic that you are studying, or read it outloud to yourself. (Input from Claire: Like VinhHuy said as well, choose an event you are actually passionate about!) ● If you do happen to purchase two textbooks, keep an eye out for contradictory information between the two​, as sometimes that can happen (so make sure you know “according to ____, he defines health as ____” as opposed to ____who defines health as _____) ● Always ​keep your goal in mind ​to stay motivated: maybe a good goal for this year is to test in the top ten for regionals! Or maybe to even advance to state! (State competition was a great experience for her and she met incredible people along the way!) ● Finally, always believe in yourself!​ During her freshman year, she didn’t even start seriously studying until thanksgiving break (back then the regional competition was in december) and yet she still advanced to state!​You got this! :)) Questions? You can contact her at: ​https://www.instagram.com/snehasingss/ Tips from Shivani- National winner for Community awareness and public health, student at Rice ● For those doing team events/events that aren’t knowledge tests: it is extremely important that you ​look at the samples​ that they provided for you! They are there for a reason. It will guide you with what your project needs:) ● Work with your peers and create study resources together! ● Plan out your time! For team events: make sure you have a to-do list and deadlines for all the members to fulfill. Schedule out time each day. Set goals so you don’t fall behind ● GOOGLE CALENDAR​, make sure you are organized and on top of things ● Don’t just see HOSA as a competition→​ THINK BIGGER PICTURE​: even with knowledge tests, always think about how you can use that knowledge to help your community in some way or to pursue some type of passion in the medical field. The community awareness event is a great way to get involved in your community and make an impact! Community awareness specific tips - Looking at the ​sample videos​ really helped her team know what her project needed to look like and how to present it - It is an event that you need to ​reach out to a lot of people, schedule events - This is a great event that allows you to have an impact not only within HOSA, but externally as well. You can create change in your own community! - Really cool experience: you get to contact all kinds of people: mayors, radio, news channels - Goal: do a bunch of events to raise awareness for something Ex: (Their topic was about malnutrition) Specifically what they did is they contacted diatritions, hosted food drive, walk-a-thon, a competition for students to submit malnutrition art, writing, etc, malnutrition activities and gave presentations to various schools and clubs, discussion on radio show, different posters and bookmarks and gave those at schools and grocery stores Current event specific tips - Reading as you go, taking notes on articles - Stay consistent with reading articles Questions? You can contact her at: ​https://www.linkedin.com/in/shivani-gollapudi-240bb4182/ Tips from Shirley Wang (international winner for medical math) - Multiple choice, timed test - The concepts that are tested aren’t really advanced math topics, just mainly things like statistics and unit conversions - Make sure you know the units by heart​, make sure to do practice: consistency is key! - Again, make sure you use the resources provided to you. The two main textbooks she read from were https://www.amazon.com/Medical-%C2%AD%E2%80%90%20Dosage-%C2%AD%E2% 80%90Calculations-%C2%AD%E2%80%9011th-%C2%AD%E2%80%90Edition/dp/0133
