The first exam was today, it was a 45 multiple-choice exam (MCQ) worth 0% of our total mark, that ran for an hour. The questions were taken from the subjects done in both semesters 8 and 9, so technically half of the content of the exam was things that we hadn't done yet. I think I did quite well - well enough to pass, and I'm feeling very happy about how it went. Obviously it's a little too early to say what my actual result was, but I'm feeling pretty positive about it. I think what helped the most is that the questions were very clinically focused, so I could relate the situation on the paper with situations I have experienced in the ED, and often felt fairly confident about my choice for "what test would you order?" or "how would you manage this patient" etc.
