The Cheat Sheets of the Health Student

What you highlight disappears. A cheat sheet gives your memory something to hold on to.

👇 Why highlighting doesn’t work
★★★★★★★★★★ Trustpilot  4.3/5 · 9 reviews
1 hour 20 minutes, the day before the midterm

Your highlighter colored three quarters of the page

You’ve been on the same pharmacology chapter for four hours. The page is almost entirely yellow — which means you haven’t sorted anything at all.

You close the binder telling yourself you’ll reread tomorrow. Tomorrow, you’ll reread exactly the same page.

And it’s not a problem of work: you work a lot. It’s a problem of hooking.

The real reason

The nursing school (IFSI) doesn’t ask you to understand

You do understand: physiology makes sense, mechanisms follow. What is asked of you is to recall lists — drug classes, side effects, contraindications, normal values.

But highlighting is recognizing. And recognizing is not remembering: during the exam, there is no yellow page under your eyes.

What you lack is not hours of revision. It is a hook per list, something that comes back even at 8 a.m., even stressed.

You have surely already tried

And you were right — but none of them solve this

Rereading and highlighting

It reassures you at the moment, and almost leaves nothing the next day. It’s the most used method, and the least effective.

Copy your notes

Hours of copying that sort the content. Useful — but a note is reread, it doesn’t stick by itself.

Past exam papers and quizzes

Excellent for checking what you already know. They don’t make you remember what you don’t know yet.

This book does not replace your classes or your notes. It adds the missing piece: something to hook what you have understood, so that it holds until the exam.

What's inside

The IFSI mountain, in 146 cards

Each card: the phrase to remember, the exact verified decoding, the classic trap and its usefulness during internships:

🦴 The 8 carpal bones
“Sous Le Temps Pluvieux, Tintin Titille le CAPITAine HAddock” — unbeatable in anatomy.
🧠 The 12 cranial nerves
The classic phrase + nerve-by-nerve decoding, in the exact order.
🧮 Dose calculations
“What I want, over what I have, times the volume” — the anti-error method.
💊 Drug families
-olol, -pril, -sartan, -prazole… the suffix gives it away.
AnatomyPhysiologyPharmacologyDose calculationsEmergenciesVitalsHygieneCareEthics & lawNutrition
And then, this happens

On exam day, the list unfolds by itself

The signs of hypoglycemia, you mixed them up with those of hyperglycemia every time. You learn the trick in one minute — a silly sentence, and the order never changes.

Three weeks later, during the exam, you no longer search: the list unfolds in your head while you write.

That’s all we aim for: not to revise more, but to stop losing what you have already learned.

Might as well approach it with hooks rather than a highlighter.
