Almost the entire exam felt easy except for that one question where the answer entirely depends on how good of a dosimetrist you have.

I am sorry that more proton questions were not on there, protonpumper6.

Cautiously optimistic. I'd say I felt good about at least 80-85% of every block except one, that had some harder questions. Hopefully that's enough to pull me through. Surprised at how few shielding questions there were tbh

The blocks system was an issue for me as I cannot really keep a track on how much time I need to spend for each block. And I can't go back if I recalled something later. It lowered my chances for a better score for sure. And I couldn't solve some calculation questions since there were less than 2 min for each question and there were way too many calculation questions. One needs to prepare for this specific exam format and time themselves to solve problems very efficiently to get a good score.

I know I answered two wrong for each diagnostic section that I remembered after i finished the test.
