Before every tutorial or clinical session, I build a 10-15-minute express playlist covering the pathologies we&#8217;ll discuss, so I arrive prepared and can participate actively. Finally, the Osmosis question bank is my exam simulator: I work through timed blocks and then analyze the illustrated explanations in detail to understand my mistakes.
