Anyone else have any strong feelings one way or the other abou this book? Seems like the questions for some chapters are really easy while those for others are just insanely difficult. Not like a few easy and hard ones in each chapter but rather an entire chapter being one way or the other.

By the way....Just had a question that asked what the most common dietary deficiency in the world was and the answer was "Chocolate" Yes...Chocolate...not Iron not Folate not Calcium but Chocolate. Are they kidding me?!!??!!? Is this their way of playing cruel jokes on stressed out med students getting ready for path exams and boards?

Sorry just venting...gonna go read some BRS Path to "relax" a bit.

My all-time favorite question in that book was about the chocolate deficiency.
I remember saying "what the f..." out loud and almost getting mad, until I read the explanation and realized what a dork I was being.

Yeah, some questions are really easy and some are really hard. I learned to not bother myself to much about missing the tough ones.. after all, who really cares if you miss a Robbin's question? It doesn't count against you. Just read the explanation, learn what piece of information you missed and why you goofed, and continue on. What's valuable is what you're learning from your mistakes. 😀
