When I was in medical school I stopped highlighting for that reason. Keep up the hard work! It'll pay off!

There's always not enough, or too much highlighted! Try writing out your own notes instead. When having to write something, it makes you think whether it's actually important or not. It also helps you learn the information better.

I'm in law school and that happens to me more times than I'd really like to admit. But at least you now know you have an excellent book!

That's not only med school, dude, sorry. That's any school where you're doing reading.

you should really use a bic 4 color pen. And underline different "sets" of thoughts into different colors. That way you can tell the difference between each set of lines, and it won't look like a big yellow blob. (and the were there's a will, there's an a stuff, says we basically ignore highlighting anyway.)

Sadly, in med school, you do need to know just about everything. :/ it's all important.

You're doing it wrong..

Ar least the book contains good info, imagine having to search for info in all those pages.

-nods- I used to be in veterinary medicine, and sadly, they thought every single sentence in the book was important. It makes sense in medicine-related studies, though - lives are going to depend on what you learn.
