hi guys at lastfially I took my exam tody.And I dont want to discourage you guys but it ws hard! My exam started ataround 8:45.It comprised of every suject equally except biochemistry ,it was the least presented subject.Anatomy was in the form of angiograms ,CT mri's cases etc...I got anangigram of the tibia and fibula and wasaske dwhich nerve will be dammaged here and will affect whichmotion of the lower limbs.similarly Iwas givena roadiograph of upper limb shoulder and was asked which artery damage can result in radial nerve damage too.also if the spinal symath.trunk was damaged from T4 T9 which funstion willbe lost,also the spinal cord lesions,and dorsal motor neuron lesions.I guess anatomy was asked too much as contrary to expected.Pharama had mostly graphs of ANS with XY drugs.even I had aquestion with graphs of LDL HDL TGS and they were inc and dec and was asked which drug can inc and dec them.All CNS drugs should be memorized.and side eff of anticancer.Micro was toomuch in the first three blocks all preperties of all bacteria should be momerized.like their culture mediums and also the viruses their rna dna.certain wierd questions which flew over my head especially in MOL bio.Physio was one subject whichgave me a hard time,BIOSTATS was too much in the paper I guess 10% and behaviour was also asked but not that much.like 5-6% mostly phy pt.do q bank for it.
Pathology was all familiar like wilson'd disease,pappilledema,GIt crohn's and UC ther locations.also a lot of micro pics of histology.Embryology was nowhere in the paper.
Too many blodd questions in patho.aml cll cml do them all well.also which disorders inc or dec ptt aptt.etc.
do complment,and the disorders of immune systems well,especially complment deficiency.
I hope Ihave done well.you can ask me questions.
My advice is do Kaplan lecture notes and only lecture notes.and also q bank!
PLease pray for me!

Thank you very much for sharing experience and all your nice advise. Have you done BSS? How were you preparing yourself during the last couple weeks? Reviewing the materials mainly or doing questions?

Best luck to your score!

what i did ws that i revised everthing that I thought was hard from FA and did q bank in the last 10 days.it helped me,I got like excatly 2-3 questions frm it.and most of the others were the same pattern.
I just did q bank and bss.in qbank I did all 2000 quest.but in bss I did very few.
my advice is do q bankand first aid,but keep doing question till the last day!Good luck.
