Hey everyone,

I have been preparing for my Micro exam and it is coming up soon. I have used all the suggested material including the practice exams and I am feeling good. I would just like to ask those who have taken it if there is ANY advice you can share as far as what it focuses on. (for example A&P is mostly Physiology based). As you know, it is a lot of self taught info and I want to know how to focus my studies leading up to test day. Thanks in advance and happy studying! :up:

I passed the Micro test a week ago, the questions are all over the place. I was familiar with about 2/3 of it, 1/3 looked like it was for another test entirely. I still pulled a "B".

I agree. I don't recall much of a focus area, this exam is very scattered

I took it & passed, I too felt like I was dialed in to get a "A"....got a "B", but it had some odd questions....I think if you pass the pre tests you'll do fine

I used Microbiology Demystified and this video series...

Biology 103: Microbiology Course - Online Video Lessons | Education Portal

Those videos were very good for learning the material and helped me immensely. I went back and forth between the videos and Micro Demystified, I would read a chapter in Demystified and then watch the corresponding videos on EP. I made a B on the exam and never had any sort of Biology course in my entire life up until this micro exam so I was literally starting from scratch.
