I have been studying my butt off for weeks. In lab today and during some group study sessions, I was sprouting off information like it was nobody's business. Then as soon as I get asked a multiple choice question on that information, I can't answer it. I freeze up. Or I second guess myself, say the right answer first and then change my answer. Now, I have never had test anxiety before and I've always been really good at multiple choice questions. There is something about med school questions that make me freeze. For as much as I have been studying, I should have the entire book imprinted on my brain, all of the lectures memorized and everything single important relationship understood. Now while I don't have that, I know I have a lot of information stored in my head and I've learned my lesson enough to know what stuff is important. I just can't put it to use. Which really sucks because on Friday I have a test and on Monday and Tuesday I have tests. I need to pass anatomy and I just can't put the information to use. It worries me.
Everybody says you know so much, just have confidence, but I have to say, I think my confidence has kind of been wrecked by this whole anatomy thing. I knew my stuff last time and I still failed. I feel like such a failure at this and I just don't know where to go from here.

Ahhh, my good friend Multiplechoicequestions. Good guy...or at least he thinks so.
I know exactly what you're talking about. But just remember, I had the same thing once and I lived :)
But really, I guess just go into the test and tell yourself you know the stuff and you won't second guess the choice you first make.
