and back to it again
9 Oct 2010 03:40 pmSo umm...somehow, I think I passed my exams? LOL
Maybe it's the wonders of scaling, because this year's med and surgical exams were pretty full on. Almost no one walked out early in surgical (compared to only 15 people still in their seats after psych, and only because they were too lazy to move XDDD) I actually thought the surgical slightly easier than the med because although the questions were hard (eg. you had to know your contraindications and indications for each procedure, or likely symptoms and signs for each disease - and as always, they never give you enough information), if you took your time and worked through it logically you could narrow it down, whereas med was direct recall of some minor detail receptor pathway that surely you'd never need to ever remember again unless you work in pharmacology ==;;;;;;;;;;
Psych was evil. I never knew you were allowed to test history in a med school exam LOL. Cartesian dualism...basis of moral management...etc Orz Little wonder people walked out early since there's no point sitting there double-guessing yourself.
But I should really stop this bad habit of starting to study for a major exam one week before it |||||Orz
But my mid-term memory is weeaally baaad =( I function better on short-term memory LOL
It makes me feel bad that other people started studying 4 months ago Orz
Well, the next term starts Monday. At least this one doesn't have an exam at the end, but it does, apparently, have 20394 assignments. Back to the grind again....
