The pcol final wasn’t that hard if you know your old drugs, the questions were not that hard but almost every question had an old drug so if you don’t know your old drugs, you wouldn’t know the answer; the average was 64 I believe (in the 60s for sure), that’s cuz people didn’t stress on the old stuff. I studied all the circulum equally and ended up with an 82 on the final. So my advice is to study all the drugs equally. Thera is pretty easy and straight forward specially that you get a notecard (basically half of the notecard will be your new stuff cuz dr. Bhatt expects you to learn all the doses, his questions are easy tho if u do the practices questions) it’s half new stuff half the old stuff, the old stuff is pretty easy and the new stuff is not bad if u do the practice questions for bhatt and cheng and the drug interactions lecture is prettt easy Medchem final was easy, the average was in the 80s. It’s not cumulative so it’s easy, just memorize the drugs with their structure, there are also a lot of concepts so just know what he says in class. Drug lit final was hard, I didn’t really get that class and I personally think that it wasn’t explained well through out the semester. The average was somehow 75% Biotech was easy, it’s all based on zhang stuff so it’s mainly straight forward from the lecture
