The exam was a joke. I didn't know for definite more than about 10%, not a good sign. Nothing we revised in a marathon 12hr session the day before was on the paper. I can't really blame the medical school for that (though many of my friends are trying, arguing it was too clinical for this stage in our studies). I can however blame them for the 6 typos in a 100 question paper.
It's becoming a bit of a theme that 20 minutes into the exam there'll be an announcement along the lines of; 'Could all the medical students please turn to question 34 and cross out options K and L as your answer sheet only has room for A-J', or 'The blood pressure reading of 160/170 is wrong so ignore that part of the answer'. My particular favourite was semester 2 when one of the questions asked 'What is structure X on the diagram above' when there was no X. Ooh, and the question which had 5 possible answers, option A being 'all of the above'. Idiots. You'd think they could pay someone to proofread the exam. It's stressful enough without trying to work out if 'progestergen' is a typo or a hormone you've not learnt anything about.
So I went out and drowned my sorrows last night. Luckily for me everyone else seemed to be doing the same, and as we're marked relative to everyone else's mark rather than a set 40% pass that's usually a good sign. Surely someone's done worse than me?

Say it after me: d-e-f-i-n-i-t-e. Definite.
I changed it just for you! I have an inability to spell that word, I do apologise! xx
