what makes FCPS 1, a bit difficult??!!!

To me there are following flaws in questions that result in horrible consequences.

1- incomplete statements,you must guess,there is never a statemet that guide you to a definative point,something which is a qulality of a good question.

2-Using lab values without any references,How many of us rememeber all those hundreds of lab values,they must give normal values since they want to check our application of knowlegde not memeorisation of figures.

3- Questions with more than one True and Best answers,no kidding here,since statemets are deficient so there are more than one possibilities and all are correct in thier own ways.See the example question i gave earlier.

4- No way of checking how you perform in test,you are just told you are passed,how much you score,no one knows.Plus no feedback in terms of weakness or strenght for those who dont clear it.

5- Questions comming straight from Murad,now this is pathetic,you said 80% questions taht are answered correctly got deleted,dear you have seen many questions repeted from Murad and has been repeted in past.Now this trend made new exam takers to study this horrible book.


6- Mixing of question between basic and speciality paper,and across speciality papers.Now this is utten non-sense,they gave us many hardcore anatomy questions purely related to surgery,and i was giving exam in medicine and allied.Even sugery paper has many medicine questions,even some of gynae.Shameful for CPSP.


I m not aware but im sure there wont be any system to re-calculate you test score or release the key of questions so that we may know why we pass or fail.
