2nd path exam suggestions

[sgutexan]

To all of yall uppertermers who have completed path. I have heard that the 2nd path exam is a beast. We have it on Monday and was hoping that yall could give some helpful pointers. What was the class avg when yall took it? I am assuming low, as our 1st test avg was around an 84%.

Thanks

I found 2 replies in an old thread about the 2nd test. If anyone has anymore, let us know. or if u want to give us examples of questions.

Like are they like the Robbins Reviews questions or more like WebPath questions?

the second path exam average was lower than the first and third exams. I think owing to it being different than the first test and us having a better preparedness for the third. It was difficult, very very very detailed, but not unfair. Everything was covered unlike our first test when he just picked a chart out of robbins without mentioning a word of its content in class or lab, and had a 5 question matching section from it. Oh yeah,,, at some secret review they told some ppl to look at that chart!!!! They were thrown out anyway. The third test was not bad at all and i think most people did well on it and helped their grades, it was my highest grade of the three.

it was a harder exam for sure but as above i agree it was not unfair. there was just so much darn detail in it but really made the 3rd exam seem like a piece of cake (not that it was).

if i had to look back to the 2nd exam i would try to think about outcomes of the pathology involved. more than once i knew what the pathology was but didnt really think about where it was going to lead to and lost a few points due to not looking at the BIG PICTURE.
