My school uses miniboards as final exams...Just wondering if anyone has any advice on how to study for these things. Are they really helpful for the real thing? Should we be doing anything different during the regulare semester or just wait till the end? Gross and Histo will be the first two. Any info appreciated...

Doing really well in class will help u prepare for these exams. There's no way u can really study for it at the end, the best way to do well on these is to just kick butt all semester long. Also First Aid is great for these exams and I think First AId and Pretest is good for anatomy while for histology i think BRS histology is good and I would really learn the slides (especially renal and I would also learn the ECM proteins real well ex) spectrin, etc...)

i was a big fan of brs biochem -- the linearity of biochem makes brs's outline format a natural review for it. plus, brs is easy to read, so you can skim it on the subway or something and it sticks pretty well.omarsaleh66 said:
for physio, i liked PreTest, b/c it was written by my profs (obviously helping me study for class exams), but its chock-packed with questions. moreover, it not only gives you the answers, but tells you why the right answer is right, AND tells you why each answer is wrong. thats really helpful to me, since i can usually bull**** my way unbelievably well into a wrong answer.
brs behavioral might not be much of a help except as a reference, at least until you take pathopsych.
anatomy is the only science that hasnt changed at all in the past century, so studying for your class should totally be ok.
histo will be really hard either way -- youre simply f-ed. study slides if you can, and just know everything.
