hi everybody
First of all i would like thank members of this forum specially PARI for her help during my period of tension.my exam was on 31st may. although kaplan is representative one, quenstions were different from kaplan in terms of toughness,content was same to that of kaplan. Here is my experience, with suggestions:

Anatomy: 7-8 CT scans/X-rays, High Yield and First is enough for anatomy. 2-3 embryo(easy).

Behavioral Science: lots of questions were from this subject (very confusing) and it was my weakest subject . mainly from doctor patient relationship, one from developmental stage.questions were very lengthy too. kaplan Q bank is enough for biostat read all explanations carefully.

Microbiology: only few questions were from this subject, and were q bank type.

Physiology: review all the graphs from BRS, remember BRS is enough for this subject.acid-base, cardiovascular grapphs are very important.

Pathology:Most important subject read as many as u can.

Immunology: LOTS of immuno guys. read jawet's microbiology and immuno (for immunology portion only).

Biochemistry: FA is enough,

Pharmacology: Questions were direct. again FA is enough. memorize mechanisms and adverse effects.

Genetics: LOTS, it was my strongest subject.

Do kaplan q bank and read all the explations, remember its a fair and doable exam i repeat ITS A DOABLE EXAM.
Questions were lengthy so always practice q bank in time limit frame. i took brake after every block for 5 mins, and a 10 min. brake after third block. Be confident. if u have any question u can mail me at: genemanipulations@yahoo.com , do remember to PRAY for my result ........please. :lol:
