Okay so my first exam I got an 84, but my second exam, which involved mostly of just drug memorization, I got a 71. For my course we have to know just the drug classes not every individual drugs. So how do you study for Pharm? Because I need to get a good grade on exam 3. Here is what I have to study for, for exam 3:
