I sat a ton of #exams during my time in medical school and then when I graduated I sat exams as part of my surgical training and for my masters in surgical sciences and #degree in education. In fact I did at least one big exam each year up to the age of 28 and over the years I developed a pretty good system for preparing and #studying for exams that helped me rank in the top for medicine and surgery despite there being loads to revise.
