hello, guys n gals

1st of all let me thank you all n those who created this wonderful forum.comin to point

my exam was over on 23rd feb 2 days back. i thought of comin back give feedback but iam totally exhuasted on that day so iam not able to give .

my exam is on friday, it was so marvellous in the morning when went to exam centre by 7.45 am and friend dropped me there n we sat there for some time chit chattin n he went away n myself entered exam centre and aafter completing formalities they asked me to wait at lounge. it was 9am still they didnt called me inside exam room iam waiting anxiously . after 9.20 am one lady came n simply told that systems r not workin asked me to wait some more time n i was so much irritated with situation . finally they called after 9.35 am n my exam stared at 9.45 am. i was so so excited and told my self that you have prepared well n you will do it n god definitely will help you. with that little prayer i started test. first i skipped tutorial so that i can use that time for brake. OVER ALL MY EXAM IS OK.
To be frank , exam was not so much ..... like as our frneds protrayed. it was 99.9% similar to NBME

over all rating block 1,2----- ++++
3-----+++ ok but i didnt even marked 4 qns due to lack of my poor time management
block 4----+++
block 5----++
block 6----+++
block7-----+++

++++---good
+++----ok
++-----satisfied

my overall exam is more of PHARMACOLOGY qns which is my fav subject. i got many qns from pharma but thosr are straight forward if u think jus little bit cautiously

paclitaxel,etanercept,D-R curves,anti hiv, etc exactly iam not able recall but whenever i remember ill post in the forum

ANATOMY;- as all of fearing abt , i got LOADS LOADS OF CTs, MRI, ANGIO(CEREBRAL) but thank god i was able to recognise those bloody pics n qns were straght forward if we knew theory iam sure every one will recognise them but the fact is you should recognise the artery involved

ex; 45 yr old man suddenly developed falling on to rt side all other features are normal wat is the artery involved?

ans; PICA you know it but u should identify the PICA on angio


PHYSIO; over all simple qns one line or two iwas so shocked to most of qns are only few lines for me contrary to experience of previous exam takers. i said thanks to god n those who prayed for me coz getting small qns will save your time for other big qns so that i managed to do qns with cool n calm mind

psych; straight qns avoidant personality,mile stones,simple pt -doctor relation ships

biostat; simple calculations RR, +VE PV,P VALUE etc here KAPLAN is ok

biochem;; most of the qns were average difficulty but i also some horrifying n terrible qns with completely unfamiliar words but i simply picked random ans n moved on coz i thought myself that they will be deleted so dont worry n should carry on same tempo which i was doin

pathology; thank god i got many qns from pathology where i was strong. i got again loads n loads of GROSSPATHOLOGY SPECIMENS, HISTOLOGY PICS n qns were little bit thoughtful i got 6 or 7 qns on CF.

OK FRENDS WITH THIS I WILL STOP MY STORY i think u got bored with my lengthy explanation BUT Y I WROTE ALL these things coz i was very much benefitted from this forum n t hought of contreibuting some thing for this gr8 community
