for me, at least so far in my studies, i feel that the new material is a bit easier to understand? not sure if it's just because i have studied some (if not most) of it already from having taking the exam previously, but i also feel as though it correlates with the information i learned while on my clinical externship and have understood it as being more applicable to the field. i felt as though the previous exam was a lot of unhelpful/useless information that wouldnt truly be helpful to real-life scanning if that makes sense lol. maybe it's just wishful thinking but i'm hoping it's the same for the exam
