BRS Path Comprehensive Exam

[xlithiumx]

How have people done on the BRS path comprehensive exam?

I went through BRS path over the last week or so, and today I took the comprehensive exam at the end. I got about 85% right, but I have no idea how well I "should" actually be doing on this exam.

So, does this sound like I'm on the right track, or should I have nailed this exam after going through the book.

Thanks

85% is not too bad. i got a 98% so 85% is not far off.

After a little review of your posting history, I see you have a freakish passion and talent for pathology, read: path resident at B&W.

So, given that I'm headed to family medicine, I feel pretty good about that 85%. Thanks for the info.

The questions are very straightforward for the most part.

Sorry, I was referring to the BRS questions. I think it's better to spend time doing questions from other sources, because I found the BRS q's a lot easier than any QBank or Robbins questions. I think the BRS q's are a waste of time.

I agree, they're not worth the time.
