Mini 1 Breakdown

For anyone who wants it again, this is the Mini 1 breakdown:

Gross Anatomy - 21 questions
Biochemistry - 25 questions plus 3 from DPS
Histology - 13 questions
Physiology - 29 questions plus 3 from DPS (13 Shams, 6 Wood, 12 GI)
Neurology - 26 questions

From what I've been told, the individual breakdown for the professors is just based on lecture hours at 1.3-1.5 questions per lecture hour. Dr. Yakubovskyy's Diabetes lecture will have 1 question as will Dr. Bauxbaum's Cell Cycle lecture, and the DPS questions we are getting are meant for the course grades of the subject they are tied to. On the class schedule there is usually a course named in parenthesis next to the lecture title, so in case you needed to figure out which DPS lectures specifically tie to which class that should give you an idea of the questions DPS will be giving.

Goodluck and hope to see everyone at Beach Bash Monday afternoon, February 18th after the Mini! Get there early for the free food and free tee's!
