What Students Say About Using Picmonic
Picmonic maintains a same theme amongst the database for memorization consistency (I.e. Penicillin will always be the character "pencil villain”). Picmonic was a great asset for me in medical school and I would recommend all people who are daunted by memorizing the thousand things you need to know for STEP to give it a try.
