passed step 1

violeta nistor · Posted : Sun Feb 18, 2007 Post subject: passed step 1

I just got my score today in the mail PASSED. In the begining i thought that i failed when i left the prometric center. I was in there for just 5 hours, dragging my brain to be able to stay the whole 8 hours, but I just could not. This is what happens when you don't sleep before the exam. My experience: I studied too much of everything and when I got in front of the computer I was sure they gave me the wrong exam. I had a lot of questions of Anato, Neuro, Biogenetics, and a lot of stuff that i never heard of. The quality of the pictures in the spinal cord injuries was awfull, lots of diagrams, pictures, and also lots of questions in embrio and behaviour - who would have thought?????
loa loa - transmission vector
babesiosis question
The single genetic/biochemistry straight question Hurler.
No questions of cranial nerves, I had a lot of calculation for the statistics too.
No metabolic pathway.
Other than that I never met those kind of questions. They are long too , it takes a lot of time to read and sometime you have to scroll. They dont use any buzzwords either so dont expect to see bull's eye rash for example.
Overall, my advice is first to sleep before the exam: by the time I left there I remembered wrong answers which I didn't see just because I was exausted> do not dwell on every little detail, is better to get the whole picture>the type of my question resembled the most the ones that you get on the cd that they sent when you register.
Pathology Golyan books and audio
Kaplan notes and video not Patho though is just the notes and the guy just read them.
I could not study FA
Physio brs
Pharmaco Lippincott
everything else HY
and all the questions that I could find
My score is 86/209 and I went january 26 and got the letter mailed on Valentine day
