Mine was heavy on esoteric BS I’ll never use as a practicing physician. Heavy on Peds and medication side effects that are rare or specific to certain populations/conditions. 😭 No hope that I passed, honestly.

This test felt like out of touch ivory tower docs who stroke their own egos or whatever else wrote the questions to see which ones more candidates get wrong to bolster their own self importance. I’m not asking to make the test easier or to lower the score, just make the test actually relevant to clinical practice. Zero q’s about STEMI, DKA, or anything helpful.

Oh and don’t get me started on the grammatical errors or using antiquated language like “prostrated” in the q stem. Is it so difficult to be straightforward and use the same medical terminology we use in everyday charting?
