exam
i'm sorry that i'm usually pissed off when i write in here.
so today we had our first exam of the year, in mircobiology. i don't even know how i did yet but i am already depressed. the test was pretty hard, all med school tests are, but this time i was a little surprised by the fact that no one was shook up about it after the test. people seemed pretty happy, in fact. there's usually at least one ranter n' raver, but not this time.
turns out that almost everyone in the class (well, actually, every single person that i talked to) had a copy of last year's exam, and 1/3 of the questions were word-for-word from it. it is for this very reason that, starting this year, the school is no longer letting us keep paper copies of the exam to pass down to the next class. i also learned that the course supervisor knew that most of the students had access to last year's exam, so he actually put a copy of it on our courseweb to "even things out" for the rest of us. too bad he never sent an email saying that it was posted in one of the folders. as i was talking to some of my friends about a few questions that really threw me off, a repeating theme was, "yeah, they didn't really stress that to us, but i knew it from the old exam."
i did nothing but cram for this test for the last week. now i feel very disappointed.
oh, well. back to life.
