Please, give yourself a LOT of credit for what you do know!
Don't under-estimate yourself, it's self-defeating.
You're studying a lot of new information, think of how much
you know now compared to when you started! Yay!

What helped me was to make my own "flash cards" of each meridian.
I made photocopies of pictures from the textbook, then I drew
in the primary channel, luo channel, TMM, divergent channel,
and all of the points.
I then listed each point by number, pinyin name, location,
special indications (jing well, yuan source, luo, etc),
actions and indications.
I wrote out the channel, organ, luo pathology.

By working so hard on each channel, it made it easier for me
to visualize where it runs on the body.

I still get frustrated, it just takes a lot of time and a lot
of memory space.  It also helps when I see the points used
during clinic observation time.

Best of luck to you.
Jean
