For those who prepared for CS with First Aid, do I need to memorize all the minicases with all their differentials and workup? or should I focus more on the practice cases? Please guide me, I am having a difficult time memorizing all the differentials and workup for each of the minicases. My test is in 1 month.

Thank you in advance.

Hi Silenced
I used the minicases to improve my D/D list and I used it (wrote it down) before entering the SP`s examination room and after reading the chief complain. It was very useful as it guided me on what questions I should ask to the patient to rule out the 5 or 7 differentials I could remember for each CC of each case.
I didn`t memorize everything, but used the most common DD for each complain to guide my questions.
I hope it can help you
