yeah I mean they are pretty helpful. The classic presentations section and classic labs/findings sections are better than the associations section. You see a lot questions where the stem has the the classic presentation or a classic finding laid out right for you exactly like it says in the book, so it is definitely worth a few hours in my opinion. Same with the pictures. You have a pretty good chance of seeing images very similar to those in first aid. I would put money on seeing a granuloma of some kind under the microscope

^ Agreed. 👍
I also recommend that you not put off reading these sections until the very last minute. Flip through it a few times during your study period so you're familiar with it. I've been reading through it at the end of the day when all is done ... nice little wrap up and it has a weird calming effect if the day has been overwhelming (weird, I know.)

It'd be interesting to hear from somebody who took the test and tell us about it. Because at the end of the day when I am exhausted, I look back at it and then think to myself is it worth doing or or forget it. Most of the time I don't do it. But if someone thinks its helpful then I might just do it before I start studying.
