Hey guys,
I just wanted some advice
Todays my last day to study before my exam

I havent gotten a chance to go thru micro and dont think i will have time to do it.

For those who have taken the exam. Is it really important that i fit micro in?
I havent completley ignored it, but i mean i have to skip it for my second run
and i prolly forgot some of the little details.

You could read the profiles of the bolded bacteria from the gram + and gram - flow charts. Those are the higher yield organisms to know.

Focus on at least memorizing the classifications and unique things (gram pos, neg, lactose fermenting for gram neg, comma shaped for campylobacter, etc) and also some of their toxins. Also make sure you know the TORCHES infections, as I've been getting a ton of questions on those on these qbanks. If you still have a little bit of last minute study time, make sure you know the AIDS illnesses and how to identify them, as well as the hepatitis-es.

That might seem like a lot but if you have a chart or something for classification (i drew out a flowchart diagram) it really helps.

And best of luck!

I never understood the advice about watching a movie... chilling, sure, but man, if I watched a movie or something all I'd be thinking about is "holy crap a dream within a dream within a dream" or something during the exam.
