Have you seen the results of people writing the CBT exams? We're talking OAU here, not some other school. 245 is low, trust me...unless he has an oga @ the top.

Nairaland is what keeps me sane after Pharmacology finishes dealing with me in the day. I must tell you, that course is driving me nutz. Dr. Lagusta, how did you read it? Had an impromptu quiz today and i'm sure I can't have up to 3/10.

Eiyaaa, sorry!!!

To tell you the truth, I had a resit in pharmacology, but it later turned out to be one of my best postings!!!

The thing is, you just have to CRAM!!! And I mean it!!! Pharmacology is very abstract, you just have to learn it word for word, from pharmacokinetics to pharmacodynamics!!!

Sorry again!!!

245 is still very low for UniUyo. If you can score up 300 - 320 in post utme. You stand a slim chance. It's a risk worth taking, I must say. Meanwhile, what's your state of origin?

Do you guys do pharm and lab medicine concurrently?? Over here, we do pharm and lab medicine(pathology, microbiology, haematology and chemical pathology) concurrently with medicine, surgery and family medicine postings in 400level . I think lab medicine is more malignant than pharm. Too voluminous.

We're doing path and pharm concurrently. I can still cope with pathology more than I'm coping with pharmacology. The 'voluminousness' is one problem on it's own, the cramming part is the major issue that I have. I just don't have the talent of cramming. Time to start the use of mnemonics. I cannot afford to be overcome by pharamcology.

we also do path and pharm concurrently, with postings in med and surg....

path too has its own probs, but to me ooo, path is better, cos u still have idea on some diseases, especially histopathology!!!!

but PHARMACOLOGY? hmmmm, no comment

I hate cramming too. We have no choice but to try. I try to overcome the cramming loophole by early and repetitive reading. But its totally unavoidable

Realizing it begins when you acknowledge it's possible. Marry your JAMB PQs well. Brush up rough areas. Strengthen your weaknesses- that's all. Medicine is competitive - esp now

Even if you crammed your way through in pharmacology just re-visit it and try to understand it, it is the different between us and laymen; THAT SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEGDE.

Cramming doesn't necessarily mean you don't understand. Passing examinations doesn't depend on whether you understood what you read, when you read it. And the hallmark of medicine is passing examinations. .
Passing examinations totally depends on your ability to reproduce what you claim you understood. That is why some people- after understanding basically what they need to know- still need to cram.
It is 'criminal' to say that just because I couldn't remember when it was required totally means I didn't understand.
