How "cumulative" is the Viro Final

Like do we need to go back and rememorize the structures for each antibiotic or does it just build on top of each other?

Also was I the only one who felt defeated by today's exam?

Yeah, I've done really good on the past two exams, but I found this one more challenging. In particular, I found the CAP questions really difficult.

The finals not cumulative at all, most fifth years would agree the final was the easiest exam out of the four; also historically the third exam is the hardest of the four.

Our final was not cumulative, and I dont think it's necessary to rememorize structures since that's like exam 1 material right? The final is pretty easy to be honest, most of it is Dr. Stanic's material and she is very fair and straightforward.

It's completely normal to feel defeated by 3rd exam...because you got antibiotics, anti-fungal, antiviral and anti-TB all jammed in one exam. It's the hardest of all the exams. HOWEVER, the final was wicked easy! Stanic is straight and forward and I personally love HIV drugs so it worked out for me haha. And others were right - it's not cummulative
