I was wondering what are peoples thoughts on having medical schools using block exams vs regular exams. Just so we are clear by block exam I mean having an all day test given about once a month covering every subjects in one format, and regular exam would be having separate exams pertaining to their course on different days.
I believe that block exam is a good way to prepare you for the COMLEX due to its similar format and having all subjects relate to each other. On other hand a block cant test as much detail as having many individual exams because there is so much material to memorize.
In the end which type of exam system do you think is best to score high on the boards?
Also let me know which schools use block exams
Thanks for everyones help,
