:O I just had my first ever medical school exam and it went so bad. I'm so angry that I revised so much and it was for no purpose- the questions were so vague and I just had no idea what to write for each of them

You've probably done better than you think :)

[kateywilkinson]

Thank you :) This is my hope- always tend to focus on the bad stuff when you immediately get out of there- I can't remember the vast majority of the rest of it, which means I have a chance of actually geting those right.

Sucks that you didn't do so well. Been there... I hope your paper tomorrow goes better!

This is making me freak out a bit about how little studying I've done, haha. I'm sure you did much better than you expect.

Sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you, been hella busy these last couple of days.

I'm a first year as well, though we haven't had any formal exams yet. How's your course been so far?

The second exam did go much better than the first, so I'm hoping that will have made up for it.

It's been pretty good so far- have struggled to keep up with the workload a bit- I tried really hard at the beginning of last semester but then sort of stopped doing work. Most of the work has been pretty straight forward- I'm scared how hard its gonna be as the course goes on :S How's yours going?

Are your exams in the summer then? It's weird because our medical school won't give us past papers, which is fair enough because they want us to treat it as A Level, but I just wanted to practice the timing of the questions :( But oh well.

A lot of work - I don't think it's an unmanageable amount, but I haven't been working hard so that's why I probably feel like I'm behind. Plus there's not a lot of time to cover every aspect of the course.

Yeah, they're in June. Ours don't give them either.

Right now I'm just stressing and being annoyed at how nervous I get. ):

[kateywilkinson]

Yeah, it feels like the work is a bit endless :S

I got really stressed for this exam- and I was a little annoyed at myself because I don't usually let myself get like that!

Good luck for June- its going to arrive so quickly though! Do you have to do an OSCE? I'm really scared about that at the moment :)
