hey Wadent,
how did ur exam go? how was the level of difficulty? did u have any repeats form asda?
which subject did u find the toughest?
u said that the time wasnt enough, so did u complete all ur questions...

Best of luck for ur results 👍.
 
hey wadent... well sorry about the time! I'm sure you did great though!

Can you elaborate more on your experience with the exam though?

Mine is 1.5weeks.. any advice?
 
hey guys !!! well the exam was ok !
anatomy/ histology ,micro/patho all from decks be sure to know ur decks very very good,, bio/physio was challengin thats what i felt maybe that was my experience not urs !!!
But what happend is that i lost some time in doin those d.a questions!!! and when i was done i felt i was wayyyyyy behind on other questions espcially CLINICAL CASES (patient senerio thing ) because i had to read the case history first to understand whats goin on,,when i came to answer them it was so so fast sometimesi barely had time to answer them ,,they wasnt hard ,, i ended up answering all quest ina very very short time due to time lost !!
according to repeated quest. i saw few of them ,,be sure to do the latest asda exams,,and be sure to do ur decks very good,very very good...any way ill apply to retake it though bec.ull never know !!!!!

my quest. is can i get extra time ???? !!! had anyone had extra time !!!!
thanks guys ..
and good luck
 
I felt there was more than enough time actually. Make sure that before you click on 'START' button you should write down your Mneumonics and any other diagrams u use to answer DA questions, write down chronology table etc that will save you LOT OF TIME when the clock is ticking!!!!

yeah guys it is my first attepmt,,i would have been better if i didnt had that time problem !! because it killed me ,,,
toothfairy482 u were right,,, before clicking start i should have wrote down those chronology and others....at leat i know what to do next time...yea i guess at the end we learn from our mistakes,,,
i think that ill pass the exam,but with low score,,,well according to ur question anneistar yes u can apply to reatke the exam before 2010,,lets say i have a good score then i can call and cancell the retakin(the worst thing can happen u will loose the money ) but i think that iam gona retake it due to the reasin iu gave (time problem) i called the ada telling them,,they said they can provide extar time for disabilities,,i mean for people who prove there somthin wrong in their health ...so its not gona work for me (because iam HEALTHYyyyy 🙂 ) hehehehehehehe,,,,
anyway guys thank u all for ur kind words ,,and all i can say be sure to know ur decks very very good,,they r askin basic things....
take care
and wish u all happy 2010,,and may it brings to all of us all sucsess and happiness ,,because we deserve it...

Its a great motivation to know that running after big books and lots of matter dont help, just know what you're supposed to know and know them your best !

Good luck, to u and keep motivating n sharing
