Hi there,

I emailed about this last week - there's no set date but they expect to be able to release them around early July. Earlier than I was thinking!

We then apparently contact the secretary at our med schools who helped organise the exam.

Glad to be of help!

Ah they still haven't sent out the results yet, any ideas what date?

What did you all think about the exam? I hated the paediatric test section, didn't know anything about it at all.

That is amazing Tdevil! Congratulations on your awesome placing, though I must admit I am deeply envious lol! By the way, what textbook did you use to study for this examination? I learnt Lectures Notes for Ophthalmology but I must say, this book really covered topics really superficially.

Weird - I was right behind you at 89. What are the chances of that...?

Tdevil, well done - great result!

Not sure how my colleagues got on, apart from one who was in the top 20. Would also be interesting to know our marks - my letter just said ranking.

I used Kanski for the clinical stuff, covers everything
