Hi all ....
I just finished my exam yesterday...... still I dont believe it......
I have started my preparation in May ( 8-10 hours / day) and from august ( 6-7 hours/ day) as I am also doing MPH and last two weeks (10 hours/day).
I used kaplan for all subjects except for pathology fow which i used Goljans.
In last two weeks I reviewed 100 pages and FA. It really helps me to revise most important topics.
Now about my exam. I think patho, pharmac and micro covers 65% of my exam.

Questions:

p53: inhibit Rb phospohrylation
MS murmur,
androgen insensitivity symdrome,
4-5 blood questions ( CLL, Iron deficiency anemia, vWD,)
Treatment of Aplastic anemia,
8-10 immunology questions
which cell is responsible for positive PPD,
which cell release histamine,
MOA of vincristine, 5FU,
drug to maintain patency of ductus arteriosus,
8 - 10 experimental questins usually confused between 2 options,
drug in HT with prostatic hyperplasia,
loss of skin elasticity in elderly,
BZD and flumazenil graph (Actin of X drug decreased by flumazenil identify drug X),
Contraindication of lung transplantation(optins are Severe depression, Continued smoking, Obsessive Compulsive disorder),
Treatment of recurrent ulcer, H.Pylori,
MOA of C.botulism food poisoning,
Why less amount of salmonella is required to produce gastroenteritis( I choose acholrhydria ),
Know vitamins very well especially B12, folic acid, A , D K
3-4 questin on OC pills,
inhibin - they will show u a diagram and will ask where is inhibin,
2-3 questions on diuretics,
radial nerve injury ( X-ray with # mid shaft humerus)
Compartment sundrome ( Median nerve compression)
Hemiballimus : contralateral subtlalamic nuclei
treatment of absence seizures,

I think atleast 40 of my question shave diagrams ( Xrays, CT, MRI. Electron microscopy). In some question they will give clue but in some u have to just identify the structure and will ask question related to it.

Will try to post more questions when i remember.
Also let me know if u need any help.
Best of luck to all ot u.
