Hi, I am back from the trauma centre, oops- i mean exam centre.
I had a good 5 hours sleep before exam. The first 3 blocks, i felt ok, in fact good. Felt i was doing nbme/UW qns, i found exam level to be about same,or a just tiny bit lower.
Then started the trauma. 4th and 5th (and somewhat 6th) blocks had Qns i had no clue to. Did not even have to choose b/n 2 choices, bec i couldnot even narrow it down to 2. 7th and 8th blocks back to UW standard.
To soon-to-be-examinees, :1,2,3 then 7,8th blocks had about 4 extended matching Qns each.(we know these are a relief and help save time, if u know the ans). The 4,5,6th killing blocks had just 1 each. It seems these 3 blocks were deliberately made tougher. The most covered IM topic was neuro(UW type), and a Qn on gaits in almost each block. And yes, the options of matchingQns WERE in alphabetical order all the time.
The exam was over in one crazy blurr. I cant even recall the subject distribution.I had promised myself not to think about it bec i have cs in 2 1/2 weeks.But there were so so many Qns i was not sure of the answer.I dont know how its going to end.
UW rocks.(I just wish i could have rocked it more in the prep!!)

hi 3535:
many of us had the same feeling after the exam, a lot of easy questions lost...and many others answered without thinking ..... lets pray for all of us during this tough waiting for the score....at least this is the only thing we can do now
good luck on your CS .

Just wanted to add-
AlinaT wrote 3 days before my prep- squeeze out every Qn bec it had made you put in a long and diff prep.
I went w/ this attitude.If you hadnot said this AlinaT, I would have gone w/ a very jittery self. THANX A REAL LOT!!
