First of all thank you all for your continued prayers and encouragement. I completed my exam this past Tuesday [The same day Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, M.D., (Denial-Anger-Bargaining-Depression-Acceptance) passed away. Peace be with her and her family. Heart felt gratitude for her contributions to the field.]. I now join those waiting for their results. On my exam day, I woke up and had a big breakfast with my wife at the nearby hotel to the Prometric building. After praying, I got a head start on getting there. I was surprised and a little worried that I finished my exam ahead of time. I was in by 8:15 (my scheduled time was for 9:00) and was seated for exam immediately. I did 3 blocks straight through and then took only a 7 minute break to use the washroom and eat a nutri-grain bar and some water. I returned and did 3 more blocks straight through and took a 3 minute break to stretch and get some candy. I finished my last block (which seemed to be only brief questions consisting of one or two line statements followed by no more than 3-5 choices). I fnished my exam at 3:15. I think this is due to the fact that I finished most blocks ahead of time and that I took such brief breaks. My longest block was block 6 because it had the greatest number of paragraph length/ lab-values per any other block. That block I finished with only 30 seconds to spare.
As for the exam itself:
30% of micro
30% of pharm
only one or two Behav.Sci. questions per block
only a few physiology questions per block
30% of the rest was pathology.
There was at least two questions per block about laboratory animal experiements that were disguised physio and patho questions.

Good luck and continued prayers for everyone taking it this week and beyond. I know MASH and the rest will achieve and surpass their expectations of success!
God Bless.
