tats a sensible question...

u r right abt day 1
the blockd r divided into office and emergency... i had 5 office and 2 emergency set up..

day 2 ... 4 mcq blocks.. i had 2 office and 2 emergencies...
36 questions per block , and 45 mins for each mcq block

ccs cases... 9 blocks .. 20+5 min..

day 2 questions are not lengthy and r very simple and concise...
u can answer them very easily... jus hav to b a bit vigilant about the hidden clues in few ques..

tats it.. gud luck wit ur prep and exams..
