I believe the same questions were thrown out at Joplin as KC. We averaged 82.2%.
Anyone finding it a heck of a lot easier to get into a consistent workout routine now that classes have started? Idk if I just had too much time this summer or what but now that we have such a constrained time frame every day I find myself doing it more lol

You don't need to know it exactly. But knowing that C3a is an opsin and is related to a range of autoimmune disorders and that c3b cleaves c5 and that c5-9 is important for killing neisseria species is very very high yield.
That being said if you feel like you don't get it there are probably youtube videos that can teach you how to memorize it in 10 minutes. Kind of like how you can easily do the clotting cascade by counting down from 12 to 8 and then 5, 2, 1.
C3b is the opsin according to our quiz yesterday
I'm pretty pumped to get a bone box. I've always wanted a box of bones.

Then you'll really have a skeleton in your closet! Lol
It gets better after the first 2 years. I hated 2nd year and studying for boards.
Lol it sucked! Especially when you miss questions because of one misspelled word several timesSo what is the KC perspective on our MSK test? Joplin is feeling slightly hurt by the whole thing. Slightly meaning pitchfork-mob.

Fair and representative? When the class average on both is a mid/low 70 I wouldn’t necessarily describe it as such.Im in KC. I thought the exam was fair and very representative of what we learned. Most people I spoke with in KC feel the same way.

I did fine as well, but to base an overall assessment of the exam based simply off how you did and the few people you spoke to is not a good reference point. When our class as a whole, all 442 of us, did fairly poor (overall 75.4% average) it means the exam was difficult and that a majority of people didn’t do well.I studied nothing but the material given to us and did very well. There were no questions asked based on information that wasn't given to us. By those metrics, I call it fair and representative.

Thank you for that assessmentIt's interesting that you just stated that the exam was difficult while before you were stating it wasn't fair. Those are not the same thing. Sure, the exam may have been difficult. Welcome to medical school. Just because it was difficult doesn't mean it was unfair. I stand by my statement that it was fair and representative.
I am not basing my overall assessment of the exam based on anecdotal evidence, I am basing it off the fact that everything that was asked was in material that was given to us. That is what made the exam fair. If the exam contained material that wasn't given to us, that would be unfair, but that wasn't the case.

I won't try to convince you that it is fair, but we were not informed that we needed to know the KC list for our anatomy practical. In fact, it was released to us and our professors specifically told us to ignore it and only review the material we were presented for the practical. Some time on the Saturday, our instructors were informed that we had to use the KC list, but we still were not informed. The 5 questions we were given back as 'all answers accepted' were almost universally missed here. It's kind of like the eosinophil question you guys got back from HDM, but we got a few more of them.
Damn, average for the final was low. So like half the class technically failed the exam then?
You're not an MBA candidate yet dude calm down but idk I keep checking every 5 minutes so beats me!Any word on when final grades for MSK might be up?

So we recently got a copy of the KC dissection guide for the thoracic cavity. It's beautiful. No wonder we did so poorly on anatomy.
