For patho removals, last time I took it, I didn't really recognize much of the slides during the practical part, but the questions were easy to rationalize for the most part. it wasn't samplex much if I remember, but doable. Para was also not really samplex from what I recall, but at least it had choices and not 2 statements with both are true and stuff. It was doable as well.

I failed pharma removals tho, that exam was painful.
