25,26,27,29 June, 2007 days are challenging exam days of Medical subjects; Anatomy, Anatomy Practical, Physiology and Biochemistry. I got too much of remarkable experience.

My Medical Exam Experience (2nd XP, my thoughts)

Within about 2 months, we’ve got a lot to learn. For me, the level of these subjects is quite high.

**Days before exam**

Subjects are interesting but quite boring. With the help of Biochemistry tutorials and a nice biochemistry tutorial teacher, I had no problem in BC (biochemistry). Even I got pass marks in all tutorials tests. No absent in tutorial class, it’s great.

Physiology tuition teacher had changed, with changed teaching methods, I got little difficulties. Only thing I needed is to read the book repeatedly, just like reading a book such as Harry Potter Books Series.

Anatomy wasn’t ok. Coz tuition teacher left our country, new teacher’s teaching methods are really difficult to adapt. Less interest in it, not attending lectures regularly, notes not complete, and so I really ignored it. Also histology sketches are poor (this isn’t my fault; color pencils I used are bad).

Like this, the exam had come, furiously.

At the night before that day, I exchanged messages with friends and what she replied to me was she was so confused and didn’t remember anything then. Everyone said not ready.

What I’ve learned on my own is that even clever and well-studied students always say that they are not ready for exam, and they don’t know anything about the exam. But when the results come out, they are always on top.

25th June – Anatomy

It was too much to learn. My head was not fresh enough to absorb the whole book (within a very very short period of time). I concentrated mainly on the questions that our tuition teachers said, though I knew they weren’t really sure, there was nothing to choose at that time. Sitting at the study table, eyes looking at the book, saying the words repeatedly from my lips, but I got nothing. It was so difficult for me to catch up my flying thoughts, scattered throughout the whole sky. Looking at a second hand of the clock, I felt I was pressed more and more. For multiple choice questions, preparation was nearly nothing. I managed to bring my student ID card to school. The room named S 7 was our tough battlefield, where I was sitting there with nothing prepared. My place was quite near from the entrance, that’s bad, uneasy to concentrate. During the period of Multiple Choice Questions, which were like a lucky draw in the exam, I was sweating, both my body and the weather was hot that day. Also because of a really new method of answering, and a carried over minus system. Seeing the Multiple Short Questions (actually they are quite long), I couldn’t believe my eyes, felt quite annoyed. I’d already known that there would be a choice on three portions. In the portion of the thing called Histology, both questions were practically different from what our teacher gave. It was too late then. I collected some pieces which were concerned with the nasty organ ““spleen”” and wrote down with my own words. After that, I was talking and messaging with my friends all about the defects of the exam, our teacher, our bad luck and the bitter experience. I’ve found that we are not unfamiliar with that type of exam systems, new for us. So we have to understand those terms and conditions so that we can handle them well. Another day to prepare was Anatomy practical. Anyway, passed thing had passed. (I don’t mean that I am sure to pass). With symptoms of failure everywhere, I wasn’t able to continue studying. In the evening, there was a little luck for me coz I received the list of diagrams to study, filled with full notes, from someone. Thanked her for that.   

26th June – Anatomy Practical

I was watching the Histology slides that morning, almost all are pink and purple stained, difficult to distinguish between them. Too much diagrams up to above 100, labels are not specific, not seeing clearly, that was really bad. And embryology diagrams are complicated, becoming harder stage by stage. I was quite late when I reached school, but it wasn’t a problem, just still differentiating the students into three groups, it was quite funny that the examiners looked angry then. Maybe they might be tired. Stepping into the hall, seeing the sitting plan, I was so relieved and allayed coz I was placed beside a smart, studious girl, actually there was nothing to surprise; xx7 is always next to xx6. At that time, what I was thinking was that there’s no chance to fail in the exam, with great friends around. All of us did well except that awful picture, a type of genetic disorder, we hadn’t even seen that before coz we missed lecture classes. One of the examiners was so outstanding in grabbing the answer sheet from students, what he did so fast, having to time to discuss with a friend. In the end of two anatomies, I was thinking of how nice if it was the end of all.

27th June – Physiology

Having pains within the days of Anatomy, then I never wanted to choose, I decided to read every word in the text book, even though I didn’t recognize all. A friend was about to tell me some spots, but I didn’t reply. I was just reading the text then, only to know the process so that I prepared to write them in my own words in the exam. I knew there wouldn’t be enough time and had to hurry on Multiple Choices. After sitting a while in the canteen, I went to the exam room. Seeing the examiner, I and my friends were depressed. Coz she is quite strict, not allowing the students to step even near the entrance of the room. And also they took my mobile phone, but I’d already turned it off. I answered all questions, with my own words, hoped it would be acceptable. Physiology tutorials results had come that evening. I passed, getting 60% of total. As my eyes moved to a roll number next to me, I saw 80%. Having one holiday during days, was so nice, I could rest my soul, by playing a game.     

28 June – I touched my biochemistry text book at 7pm at night, and then electricity went out.

29th June – Biochemistry

That day was the last day, with longer exam duration, 3 hrs. Being the last day and with the help of previous tutorials, I was in the safe side, not worrying to fail. There were ten long questions, but I had enough time coz I took little time in Multiple Choices. I felt quite bored, writing the words. I asked for three extra sheets. Nothing particular happened, coz examiner teachers were better than last days. The exam ended peacefully, with signs of happiness among the medical university (a failure doesn’t matter for medical student). I left the school, thinking of ……… coming challenges with more difficulties …………
