I'm studying for my dental hygiene boards planning on taking it at the end of August, and I'm starting to get worried about how I'm studying.

Right now, I've been focusing on one subject each week, but I feel like I forget most of what I learned by the next day. Is that normal? How did you retain everything while studying?

Also, I keep seeing people say you need to study 6+ hours every day to pass. Is that really necessary? How many hours did you study each day, and what study method worked best for you?

Any advice from people who have already taken the boards would be greatly appreciated!
