It is true that medical students have lots of materials to cover in a relatively short time but we are not always reading not even when we have tests. You may see us carrying books around a lot (emphasis on the word 'may') but that does not mean that we are always studying. In fact, it is not every time that you see us with books opened before us that we are understanding what we are reading.
 
   A lot of people have this mentality, I did too, but then I found out that reading all the time does not guarantee that you'll pass, God's grace does. Every student no matter your department has to study well in other to pass and medicine is not an exception.
