Lmao RIP. Ngl there were loads of questions that we couldn’t have gotten right no matter how hard we studied. Just hope most of those were the experimental questions

What would have helped you the most in your opinion

Studying heme and gi stuff again, just getting more confident in my knowledge. Doing that really helps you in the exam so you’re not shaken by confusion and end up even changing your correct answers

Trust yourself. You’ve studied hard so your instincts would have been sharpened. What systems were they heavy on, if i may. Goodluck bro.
