When I had first read so many people's experiences I noticed a difference in what people felt. Some said hard some easy....I think I've felt both specturms. So heres my experience....
I wope up in the morning hoping that I wouldnt be sick but that wasnt the case. I walked to Ihop to pickup some breakfast and lunch for the test. At the testing center I started the test....
The test was full of clinical vignettes, all of them were a million words long..this was different from my last test because because atleast some of the questions were 1-3 lines. Not so..
I got a couple pof graph that just didnt makes sense
a shit load of calculations and stats, some were really wierd
lots of micro(may have saved my life)
some anatomy, lots of brain CT's ..they tested some stupid little topics
I would say basically I feel soso about this test. Not as good as the first at all. I will answer quesiton but put prep stuff only after my acore

hey Buddy I have faith in u. Ur prep was complete n appropriate n trust me u had ur concepts honed in so dont worry U will get a far better score than u expect Insha Allah ( GOD Willingly/ By God's Grace). They r going for teh Twisted Version these days asking concepts in a very twisted manner.
From reading the Past Exm Experiences ppl who think they havent scored big time or r having doubts turn out to have great scores. U have done ur best n surely have delivered ur best U will get a great Score. Just have Faith in Urself. U r the Most Confident Undergrad i have met so dont worry.

Best of luck !
Any probl with time management ? Were you able to markQs and get back to Qs you marked ?
On the avarage, how many Qs/block you have no idea at all what they want, or ask from you, or things you have never heard of before....
Lets hope for the best !!!!!!!
GL with scores !

I marked questions but I never got back to them...some of this has to do with my headache...its was constant throughout so I was a little slower on the thinking. I had a lot of wierd super long vignettes and calculations that took some extra time . Some times I had to ruch at the last coupl of questions. luckily the last couple were ones that could be rushed through....

kaplan neuro is more then enough, just make sure you know where everything is on MRIs. Many brain MRIS.
