just make a list of things u need to revise b4 exam and stick to it bcoz it can be overwhelming b4 exam.that is true that we underestimate ourselves.i thought reading last minute was not that helpful.all they test is concepts,not minute details

i did only qbank and score95.i feel qbank is more closer to exam and even the level of difficulty.got abt 5 q's from inducers and inhibitors from pharmac.hiv drugs were heavely tested.i got a same question abt hiv drug on 2 blocks abt which drug causes cushing syndrome.beh-lots of ethics and few straight forward stastistics.micro not many,few on viruses ,not many on immuno. few wierd q's abt genetics.
i got many q's similar to qbank,but i dont know if i got them wright.
good luck to u all

HI jamdoc,
Many thanks for sharing your experiences.
What about score 95?
Is it worth doing ?

u can use score95 as secondary source, its best to use qbank or UW as a primary source. its ok but not as good as qbank.it lacks lots of features like no timed mode,u have to do it subject wise,no pictures or ct/mri etc. only advantage its cheaper than the rest.

thanks everybody.
my advice is to reach the exam center as early as possible bcoz sometime if its not busy they might allow u to start early.my appt.time was at 9.00 am but i reached at 8 am and my exam was started at 8.15 a.m finished by 4.15 p.m.
managed to finish all the blocks with 2-4 minutes left except for 2 blocks which i finished on time.all blocks were equally difficlut. manage ur break time efficiently.skip the tutorial.
i had 27 minutes break time left for the last block.do take enough break b4 the last block.i took break after each block.take some sweets and fruit juice etc.
questions were mostly from patho then followed by pharmac then physio and anat,micro behavioral then biochem in the descending order.
lots of pictures which u can get the answer without looking at the picture.got few ct/mri's.few genetics.it was well balanced.
all they ask is basic concepts not much into the details.it is not much useful reading the day b4,try and relax.i felt it was doable but i dont know how i did it,thought i could have done better with little more effort.i was not really satisfied with my prep.
studied part time for 3-4 months.studied full time for 6 weeks.did qbank and kaplan notes
only.goljun audio is a must.listen twice if u have time.try and read 100 pages high yield notes.only few questions were out of kaplan notes and qbank.dont overwhelm urselves with too many materials.kaplan notes is more than enough.
will be glad to answer any quiries if u have.
good luck to u all.

thanks so much for sharing as you have helped me calm down a little since I will be taking mines on the 30th, it is good to know they test the basics. I have purchased the Goljan version 2 book and have been studying it along with his lectures. My question, is how detailed was the behavioral sciences, and the physiology (ex. cGMP, cAMP, IP3) and graphs that I keep hearing about. Do you think or would you recommend continuing to do my questions and using the goljan or switching to first aid as many have suggested at this point. I did do the Kaplan behavioral, pharm, and part of the micro a couple of months ago.....what would you suggest?
thanks tee
