I'm surprised when people make it through all the hoops of undergrad and then the med school application process but still lack common reasoning ability to answer questions like this on their own.

1st: Points at a muscle and asks you to identify it.
2nd: Points at a muscle and asks you to identify its innervation (must be able to ID the muscle and know the innervation)
3rd: Clinical scenario of man falling from a ladder and grabs a rung of the way down pulling the shoulder superiorly. Then asks you to ID the deficits in the hand. You must identify the nerves most likely damaged, i identify the muscles they innervate, and identify the actions of those muscles to answer the question.
Most of the questions you'll encounter will be 2nd and 3rd order.
