General guidance No trick questions. Straight forward.
Read the question. Each question may not be interrelated. Most SAQ’s are predictable – Rash, toxicology, etc Even if you don't know the diagnosis – you can still answer most of the questions. Time is of essence If you don't know skip and come back later
