Since all of our exams aren't on Monday it can't be considered "Black Monday". From the schedule that I got (and it was posted) it appears that our exams are on both Monday and Tuesday for each semester. I personally don't feel that it's to hard of a thing to do. It's actually nothing different than what we all did in undergrad or graduate school. I agree that there is alot more material coverd in medical school in a short period of time but it's what we all signed up for. I think having the exams on Monday and Tuesday is a great idea. If forces you to learn the material throughout the semester and NOT just cram at the end which is what we should be doing anyway. As for step 1 preperation that's what we have the shelfs for. I don't see our test schedule in anyway trying to enhance or add to that step 1 preperation. Unless of course the schedule I received is wrong and they are all on Monday.
