Hi Folks!!!

I am Very sorry for the delay guys, I was busy making up for all the lost time with my daughter...

Now for the exam.... I went in, presented my IDs and they had me seated.

Started with anatomy fist.... I dont want to jinx it but I think anatomy cameout to be a little better.
know ur arteries and muscles... just 3 from embryology...be thorough in TMJ
then was MIcro Path.... it was an uexpected bullet few questions were complete bouncers... any body know anything about nuclear pore cause I didnt know anything about it...the paper revolved around staphylococcus... a couple on questions on downs syndrome.

the time was more than enough for two sections... I took a break was told that i was not supposed use my phone or refer top my notes or leave the building???? I said the break was for an hour.... then they let me go out???? I guess even they didnot know much about exam rules.. any ways i quickly had some coffee and came back. (took a 20 min break)

After break it was Physio and Biochem... biochem was a surprise.. only very few questions on cycles and enzymes... it was mostly intertwined with physio.... more than enough ECG , HR, Lung Volume questions.
Then was DA,
Like one of the wonderful SDN collegue suggested. I quickly wrote down all the important charts figures like erup seqences .. occlusions etc.,
It helped me tremendously in answering ..it almost cut my time in half... had a few curve balls but it was OK .. btw only one lateral working movement with diagram but a bunch of questions on latrosive moovements.. it hit me hard in the belly.... cuz i am not too comfortable with those kinda qs.
no major diagram questions in DA..

Suggestiosn and comments:
well all in all that was the exam.... rule of the day: be focused
i thought i will loose the pace if i take a long break so I went in after 20 mins.... do what ever u feel comfortable.. do not eat a heavy breakfast... it will sure make u feel weird in the tummy. I am glad I had a light one... ur brain will function fine as long as ur mentally prepared for a lengthy exam...do previous year exams and mock exams..they sure r life savers. there were at least 30 questions minimum from previous papers...

thats it for now I guess.. please feel free to ask me anyquestions that u all might have.... and please dont forget to pray for my results.....

Hi Mommydentist:

I wish you the best on your results.... The hardest part is the waiting but I know you studied a lot and will get a very good score.
It surprised me to know that you had Micro before Bio....in my case it was the opposite. Also, it seems that your exam was somehow different from mine...(on mine, no ECG, only one Q about lung volume, no down syndrome...) but one thing seems to be constant: No diagrams on DA and lots of lateral movements q's....
I hope you get your results soon. Please, keep us posted...Good luck :luck:
