mc,
thanks for the kind words, and yes the exam is really luck of the draw, cause as I mentioned it many times before first time I took it the exam was much easier and very much similar to the usmle cd and nbme exams, but unfortunatly I blew my chances there.
Jack,
make sure you get the 2004 online version, because there are quite a few addition to it, especially in the picture questions.
docepy,
by the time I got the online qbank it was only two weeks to the exam just to see what I was missing, and I don't really know the score second time around cause I never completed a block of 50qs as I was only doing the questions that I hadn't come across in tutor mode. 1st time around from the cd was about 65%(my estimate).

I was a firm believer on FA, enough to rely only on FA and step up for this exam. Right now I dont know what to think anymore, I feel cheated for thinking FA was enough, because it really wasn't for the version of the exam that I got. I think the key is to be prepared for the worst. now you might get an easier version of the exam on which FA would be enough, but dont just take it for granted that this will happen.
my advise, study the kaplan notes wholeheartedly and go to the exam with the confidence of an elephant.

I'm sorry, I didn't read your post correctly, I thought you were asking for FA in general. As far as micro and pharm is concerned...hmmmm.....I would say may be yes! FA is enough. But only if you understand the mechanism completely. Also for immuno I wouldnt rely on FA only.
