All of my friends ssem to remember much of the material but for me just after like 15 min i forget what i have studied
I do reprat things from my memory or active recall by writing them down but something i used to do is not write a fact once , i write it multiple times like 5 times and then it sticks but with that it takes a huge amout of time

Do you understand why it's happening? Try to make connections. Understand the mechanism completely - every part. It makes it much easier to recall if you understand how it works. For blunt memorization (like IL-8 = chemotaxis) there isn't really a good answer and differs from person to person. Repetition, active recall, mnemonics, memory palace, etc...

Here's a great thread for study strategies, and multiple strategies that are very different are discussed and anecdotally supported as incredibly effective, so you can choose the one that best fits you

For those scoring high in preclinical years (top 10%), how do you study?
