Aside from basic biostats, did anyone actually have to use the anything like the nerst equation, henderson-hasselbach...etc?

Thanks much,

Just took it and I literally did one calculation -- an incidence/prevalence type thing. really just involved moving a few decimals. Also had some biostats questions, but the answer options were essentially "which way would you set up the equation to solve it" THANK GOD there was no physio math!!!!

I had 2 questions requiring some sort of math skills out of 350. I needed to know how to take the square root of something and divide and multiply. Not too advanced.

"They" say you should be familiar with those equations such as the HH equations, but it happened to not appear on my exam.
