New Books Rearranged

1st year

2nd year

3rd year

4th & 5th year

Unsatisfied

Hey guys,

I can’t tell you how unsatisfied I am. I just returned from my Facultative Surgery exam. I did not do so well. Truth is, the mark I received did not reflect on how hard I prepared for it, honestly. Prior to this, I bumped into the Fac. Surgery thread on the RSMU Russian Students’ Forum. They said that the exam marks were randomly given. One girl even said that she answered her friend’s variant for her, exactly word-for-word; one of them got a 5, the other got a 4. I’m so pissed off. What on earth is the point of an exam if the marks are random? Welcome to Russia.

So, due to this, I am going to release the exam variants and answers for both Neurology and Facultative Surgery. Because, whether or not you study for these 2 exams, it makes no difference.

Surgery variants (except Variant 3) and answers which I corrected myself. Take precaution.

Neurology bilets and answers (from 11 onwards)

Some reference material for Neurology: Neurosurgery in Russian, Netter’s Neurology, Neurology Textbook in English & another, some Russian material about cranial nerves and the methodichka (which you will need to prepare your Patient History).

Neurology was described as “Halyahvyi” meaning ‘freebie’. And so it was. All you need to do is to prepare for the MCQ (I have the answers for some of the variants, I’ll post them up later) then move on to prepare your written part. It’s so slack in the exam hall that the assistants left us alone there. Cheating Bazaar. Bring your books in, especially the Rukovodstvo (Handbook). You will also need to diagnose a Zadachi, whether or not you get it right doesn’t matter. And that’s it. Minimum 3. Nobody fails neurology, not that I know of.

Study Smart. Cheating is an option.
