Tips Before the exam 1 or 2 sources max – E.g. (team or slides OR team or step up) – Before exam time you must have read the subject at least once before Don’t ask about benign and malignant examiners! Get your stethoscope, lab coat and notebook to every session!! Study the way u like, like the basic science

Tips Doctors are not available for the sessions, u might get 3 cardiologists Ask them in advance for what u need (specially surgery) NEVER fool them, they know all the tricks! If a patient refuses the history, don’t take it
