Refer to point 1. (This is the 2010 terms test 1 report)

Knowing a bit more anatomy than HUBS level, I think that's a clumsy sentence they've put there, and I personally wouldn't interpret it as saying "external iliac is right". The great saphenous vein joins the femoral vein, then the femoral vein becomes the external iliac vein, and to me that sentence means "note the point where the great saph + femoral becomes the external iliac".
[offtopic]Clumsy use of language in the first part of that sentence as well - "note on particular"...[/offtopic]

Talked to my sister tonight (who did HSFY in 2010) and she said that femoral artery was the right answer.

Exam venues for Epi are up!

Did anyone do the epi practice test they posted on blackboard? If so, did you find it deceptively easy - as in get 100% with hardly any effort/study easy?

Yeah.. I knew it couldn't have been just me, damnit! lol
I hope they don't troll us with an incredibly hard test on friday.

I see the same thing's happening with HEAL as last year then... Except we didn't get the whole test prep module, just 7 questions thrown on blackboard.

What happened last year?

 

[baba]

Was the actual test a lot different?

What happened last year?

We thought the practice questions were too easy and they had to be trolling us. They weren't, and the test was just as easy.

Reassuring I guess haha. Did they release the average grade for the test?

In 2009 they put up a blackboard test before the first terms test as "practice". It seemed too easy. It was - the actual test was considerably harder.

Obviously things have changed since, but don't let your guard down!

I got a look at the test prep module (yep, they put up a document with >30 questions) courtesy of one of my students, and it seems legit - it seems to be basically the kind of questions we had in the terms test last year.

It does seem that things have changed a bit.

Well yeah, but given the stuff epi has pulled in the past I really wouldn't want anyone letting their guard down. No one outside of the epi staff knows what's in this years test.

Good luck to you kids doing epi on fri-how much is the test worth?

15% out of 28 MCQ

 

[Kception]

the textbook has the great saphenous draining into the external iliac? (p646)

That was the impression I was under. Hate it when that happens...

Good luck for epi!

[OFFTOPIC]Oh, as an aside, us Aucklanders get to see this year's Med Revue this week. It's... HP-themed xD That's why I'd thought to mention that while we're on the subject [/OFFTOPIC]
