Checking normal labs on the USMLE

[PsychoDan]

In Qbank it's rather tedious to check the normal lab values, so I'm figuring it would be a good idea to memorize a few of them.

Question is: whihc ones should I memorize and is it indeed a pain to check the normals on the real test like it is QBank?

Thanks!

I wouldnt memorize any labs that dont commit themselves to memory easily. It is just wasted time. They give you normals and it isnt that hard to check them, after you do it two or three times it will be a breeze. No sense in memorizing normal ranges at this stage when its high yield factor is zero.

After you do enough practice questions you will probably know a few of the important ones. I wouldn't bother trying to memorize any others.
