hi guys!
i did my exam yesterday.no idea as to how it went,
all the blocks were a mixture of easy and difficult questions.
i struggled to finish on time in contrast to my practice exams at home at UWwhere i always had a few mts. left in each block.
some questions were pretty easy and straightforward.
for me anat. was tough with origin and insertions of muscles-- that i hadnt gone thru. ethics options wre very confusing.lots of pathology slides with no hints in the stem of questions in quiet a few.
few graphs which were understandable.i found gentics options very confusing.only a few questions(clinical scenarios) were very long.
the rest were 3-4 lines.one liners had about 10-12 options.
lots of pathology and immunology.
as of now im back to work
please let me know if u want any further info.

Good luck on your score onc!!Should we have to concentrate on origin,insertion in anatomy?Please let us know whether pathology slideview is very important since I was in the notion that question stem might give adequate information

Respected Friend,
Good luck & best wishes for your exam.After that few words for favor- Can you please tell me, in how many questions you got graphs from Pharmacolgy(means Epi, NE, Ganglion blocker action on different settings) as well as calculations(pharma & physio)? How was the genetic, molecular biology and Biostatistic portion?? As, all of those staffs are nightmare for me. ...Thanks

i did get quite a few graphs most of them were ok to understand and answer.2/3 req.more time.calculations from biostats.
molecular bio and immuno. was tested heavily now that i have had time to think over questions.path Q most in no. and not too difficult.(except the slides)

Thank you very much. Your luck is very good that you got few graphs. Can you please specify about the Mol. biology staffs?? I know they are plenty but your support will help many souls...I know that they are going very deep to immunology, as everyone had to think about it on spot.

immuno-CGD,TCR.markers,antigen presentation, vaccine.
