Hey guys - I'm about to take the Clinical Diagnosis shelf in two days. Can anybody offer some advice on what to focus on for this test. Our school gives us no guidance as what to study. Any help appreciated.👍
 
Check out the following link, which has the breakdown for the exam: http://www.nbme.org/PDF/NBME2003SubjExams.pdf

I got 96th percentile on the exam and primarily studied First Aid, PreTest Physical Diagnosis, and skimmed BRS Behavioral Science. Know your physical findings cold (especially cardio, respiratory, and neuro). Don't forget to study the general stuff too (behavioral science, nutrition, ethics, etc.), as these are a large portion of the exam.

Hope this helps -- good luck!
