We were given a summer reading assigment (Ch. 1 of Moore, Back in Grant's Dissector, 300 vocabulary words) to complete before the first day of school. We have a test on the first day. In previous years, the test has not counted (they don't tell us that until its over). From what my M2 mentor said, everyone bombed it last year.

Do other schools have this going on?

apologize if this is a duplicate thread

We were given a reading assignment for Pitt, but it's just the book "Complications." I think it's just going to be used for a small group discussion. I can't believe you have to do homework before you've even started school!

We had to read "My Sister's Keeper" before school started last year but for whatever reason we never talked about it. I'm glad I read it, though...it's a great book.

Anyway, don't stress about this "test." You'll be fine.

that is crazy, I'd blow it off.

Is this test just a big scare tactic where they give you a super hard test on the first day, watch as everyone struggles and then start in on you how "This is the difficulty of examinations you can expect this year. If you choose not to study for future examinations as you did not for this one you can expect a similar result when the results actually count blah blah blah blah"

What a great read. Totally biased towards surgeons, but nonetheless very entertaining and informative about surgery and medicine in general.
