“My study methods have evolved. I find that the more I study herbs, the way in which I do it evolves. Most days I memorize the list on the ‘Herb List’ (main summary sheet of pinyin names) and I study three herbs that are new to me. Each day I also review quickly the herbs I studied in the days before. I have each herb written on an index card. A few days before the test, I start shuffling those cards and putting them into their categories. After I feel like I know at least a few things about each herb on the list, I start shuffling those cards and, giving myself an hour, I try to say at least three things about each herb that comes up in the shuffle.
