Like many medical programs our school runs on a pass/fail basis. However, we do receive percentage grades for the didactic exams and they report the class high, low, and average. I felt especially prepared for this exam, which I would attribute to the fact that I took full advantage of a bonus day off yesterday and studied for 11 hours. While I did perform well today, I can't help but think that I could have done better. If I am honest with myself I know that I could have taken more advantage of my weekend time for studying. At the same time, I know that it's not practical to work non-stop and not give yourself breaks, but when you know that what you are learning and how much you know will impact your future patients care, its hard not to be critical.
Oh just in case, you are interested: here was this weeks exam list. It was a culmination of bacteriology and virology. I think that we have one more exam on virology and then we move onto the neurology unit.
