Regardng PN and typing.
As i have written that first ov all u shud assess ur typing speed..
Take any online test and get ur speed in WPM.
Speed shud b atleast 25 Wpm.
Second step is, pick a longest patient note frm the first aid. And memorize it exactly. Then close the buk and type that PN along with a stopwatch on ur own. Start frm diffrentials and investigations.
Write only relevant physical examinatn, nt all the systems.
Your patient note shud finish around 9 min. Becoz in exam due to anxiety, there can b tremors of ur hands leadng to decreasd speed.
As my speed was vry gud. 40-45 wpm so i used to finish p.n in around 7-8 min.
For increasng ur speed do folowng thngs.
- practice on any typing tutor atleast an hour or two a day.
- try to play the games in typing tutor.
- chat with 2-3 friends simultanously without using any chattng language(try to type full words swiftly)
- practice all patient notes of first aid once.
I hope it wil help.
Best of luck.

thanks for sharing the experience,
i am going to give my exam this month,
my question is how much was your typing speed? and what typing speed(wpm) is required to pass the test?
and did you type in capitals? is it acceptable to type in capitals to save time?

Re. Waseemansari
My speed was around 45 words per minute.
I didnt type in all capital letter. I typed the way exactly which is in first Aid..
But u can type in all upper case.. Becoz couple of my friends typed with all caps, and they passed.
In my openion ur speed should b above 25 Wpm.
Best of luck.
