Closed book exam- help

[meaniebeanie]

could someone please shed some light on what we need to know off by heart for the closed book exam, a list of topics. 90 questions seems like an awful lot. what exactly do you need to memorise for this paper. im quite worried as you dont have the reference sources with you. thanks.

look through past papers, a lot of questions get repeated and most are very similar! read through your BNF (beginnings of each chapter, CSM warnings, common side effects, MEP (legal requirements, prescription requirements) and general OTC! there are the main points!

also common clinical knowledge, i remember one question. patient walks into community shop complaining of a dry cough, which of the follwoing drugs could be the cause A) salbutamol B) ramipril C) simvastatin D) felodipine.

thats what your up against
