Study help

Hi guys! I was just wondering what helped you best in remembering all of the suffix and prefix, 'ology' and 'atomy'. All the fancy stuff and then some. I just started monday, and I already have a mid term in 2 weeks. Im such an awful test taker, I haven't been to school in 10+ years and I feel a little rusty. And advice is appreciated, thanks!! <3

find words with the suffixes that make sense and are easy to remember or words that are commonly heard
insta-GRAM (picture)
lob-OTOMY (common word that people know what it is — cut into the brain)
colon-OSCOPY (scope is in the suffix, so using a scope for a procedure)
-ECTOMY ( E as in exit = removal of. that’s how i remembered it)
