Mock Spotter


Dear Class of 2015,
I would like to convey the official confirmation that the Anatomy Mock Exam for Neuro and UG is set for Wednesday, May 9th, 2012. This time has been set to accommodate the entire class (WJC & Mona). The exam will commence at 10:00am, The UG spotter will be set-up in one lab (Gross/Histo.) and Neuro in the other. There will be 100 questions in each. As in the finals, the exam will be held in both rooms simultaneously after which there will be a short break then a switchover. The lab will remain open after the exam for reviews of the specimens.
 
 Your Final exams will have the traditional set-up of 50%UG and 50%Neuro qstns. in each lab. This mock exam serves as a thorough practical preparation, esp. in light of the new EMQ/MCQ format. Best of luck in all your exam preparations!

Best regards, 
Kimberly Garvey-Ramocan
Anatomy Co-ordinator, MBBS Programme
