Ya so I just got home...damn that was a long exam.

First off, I ran out of time on almost all the questions...I finished all of them but on one section with 3 seconds left I had to put an answer and just put "C". Then that f'ing dialogue "time is up" popped onto the screen, but I got a chance to read the question...SO DAMN EASY!! AAAARRRRGGGG 😡 It was Temporal Arteritis...

So it was true that you should know alot about the basic diseases/meds then know all the random ones. I had NOTHING on Von Hippel, Wilson's, Hemochromotosis, sideroblastic anemia, MEN I/II, etc.

I had so many PE questions...twas like a gift!!

Lots of medicine and "what is the next best test"

Some ABC management

I had a section on FLUID management!! That's BS!! 😕

There was a good number of Ob/GYN, but nothing too hard/crazy...one FHR tracing, one about decel's, and one about indications for a C-section

Psych was not bad at all, but some of the drugs threw me off a bit...

Peds was fine, I can't believe that I memorized the vaccination schedule... DIDN'T need it all ALL!!

Diabetes was a BIG, BIG, BIG topic, as well as HTN, murmurs, pulmonary, and neurology lesions/testing...

The stupid piece of **** computers at Prometric SUCK DONKEY BALLS!!! I am planning on complaining...my eyes were KILLING me after 4-5 hours...guess it doesn't help that I have a nice 24" monitor at home 😀

Thanks for the info!! How did you study? Is there anything you'd do differently? (I realize this may be better answered once you receive your score.) 😉
