Exam week here. Pathophysiology was yesterday, lots of confusing questions about GI and Heme, like patients with celiac that had Iron and B12 deficiency (...??) and nonanisopoikilocytosis (seriously?) but otherwise a doable exam. I did several hundred questions and started to get a sense of how different QBanks have different styles. Exammaster makes it too easy by putting things that have nothing to do with each other for answer options and many first order questions, though they have good explanations. Kaplan QBook does a better job of making the choices more difficult, but still remains pretty straightforward. UWorld is the most dificult, but you're always clear about what they want - just you don't know the answer most of the time.
SGU's style consists of descriptions of conditions associated with the disease you just diagnosed and then about a paragraph full of distractions. So out of a 1/2 page vignette, probably 2 key words that are actually relevant. Anyway, in honor of nonanisopoikilocytosis, here is a link to a neat story about when you can have Celiac without having Celiac.
