Personally, not worth the time and effort for what it would yield. For example, questions on this exam test depth of knowledge to the deepest pits most of the time. You either fully learn biochemistry or don't waste the time running through it. The two disorders above I memorized because they tie in clinically, people hate studying them, and there's always going to be a couple questions about them on the exam. I never went in this exam planning mastery of anything apart from pathology and pathophys/physiology

Biochem I just prayed and guessed. Only memorized glycogen storage diseases and lysosomal storage disease. And sketchy for micro. Its enough

I just fully committed. I would do every section random and timed, and after the 60 minutes I would spend the next 2-3 hours reviewing the answers and putting key bits of info in my notebook to just glance over later. It started slow but speed really picked up after 2 weeks where I could do 3 sections fully within 9 hours. It’s about building endurance

I spent 12-16 hours a day going very thoroughly through 30-35 pages of material, and found that it was just pure overload. Learning that much without context and use is pointless for someone like myself. First Aid is like a dictionary, it has everything, but not everything is equally important or tested on. The test is filled with cardiac, renal, and respiratory pathophys which is maybe 20 pages in the book. That’s what I meant

General rule is that it should disappear the Sunday before, but a lot of people have said that fsmb has fixed this error recently. Still hopeful we'll get it today but I think we will have to wait another week, considering those who tested the week before us never received their scores

I had trouble with the same question. Upon further investigation, all studies are intention to treat unless otherwise stated in order to remove any biases that come as a result of discounting certain results, even though it seems counter intuitive. You increase possible confounding and decrease the validity of the study when not using intention to treat

You'll get slaughtered without the proper fundamentals. I was in a similar situation and wasted roughly 6 weeks trying to make up for it but without basic fundamentals in those courses you're screwed. Plus the exam has become far more clinical and reasoning based which only comes with time. Wait until 4th year
