Hi guys,
just back from exam.First of all, want to thank all the people in the forum who had posted their experience, study strategies etc in past just for helping others.its my turn now and I hope that some will be benefited from this.
It's standard exam I'll say, kind of falling in NBME style.I got mixed questions in each block as you expect.Neuro pictures, 2-3 CT scans, few mol-bol, few pharma and rest , I don't know what to say.I's quite un-nerved in first block, but from thenonwards calmed down a bit.They ask indirect questions but be prepared for simple and straight ones too.I felt that at the end of day what matters most is the one you pushed into your brain through the long term study, not the crammed staff just few days before exam.Forgot to mention about some muscle pathology and haematology questions and very few genetics. Statistics questions appeared in last 2 blocks when you're tired and your brain just doesn't want to concentrate any longer.There were good numbers of doctor-patient relationship questions as well.
I did few silly mistakes and felt that I forgot many simple things but overall felt that It's standard exam.Managed rest time well but couldn't save any time from the blocks after reviewing.In 2 blocks , my time finished while I's on review.
I hope this will help and best luck for those with exam in near future.
