Step 1 Physio graphs, press vol loops, etc

Question for those that took the beast already.

It's been said by many that the physio part of the exam is primarily tweaking w/ graphs, etc.

I havent done many qbank physio q's yet, but in terms of the Kaplan physio lecture notes, are the q's at the end of the cardiac chapter (w/ graphs, etc) suffice for the boards?

thanks

most of my physio wasn't mostly graphs. it was those annoying up and down arrows. they'd give you 3 categories and you had to decide if they went up or down, or stayed the same. It was helpful to figure those out before looking at the answers so I didn't get confused. I was worried about the cardio graphs too, but the only one I saw related to the autonomics and it was more hr and bp like in first aid pharm.

I had lots of up and down arrows too. There was a cardiac pressure volume loop graph just as Kaplan promised there would be. I had no respiratory physio, unless it was incorporated into part of the question. They do seem to like the pharm autonomics graphs, I had a few of those. Most of the graphs were pretty straight forward. If the biochem didn't suck so bad I might actually think I passed.
