What is an A&P lab exam like? I am asking this question, as this is the first time I have ever taken a college level science with an accompanying lab. Do I have to memorize diagrams? Do I need to memorize all the parts on the models?

We had a couple of different kind of lab exams. One we had to identify part on bones that were set up in different stations. It wasn't that hard, but the teacher had a buzzer that went off every couple of minutes. Just thinking about that buzzer going off made me nervous. We also had to identify different kind of tissues and organs from slides. Then we had to tell what each tissue or organ did. It was hard because if you got the slide wrong then you got the whole question wrong. Luckily I didn't get any wrong. I studied slides off the internet for weeks for that exam. Good luck!

my lab exams were different than everyone elses... our teacher had the entire class buy USB flashdrives & upload powerpoints that he gave us with thousands of pictures of structures. for our lab exams, he'd do a slide show with pictures of structures (not necessarily the same pictures he gave us to study in the powerpoints) & we had to identify them. there were hundreds of possible structures to memorize in each section & we were tested on 50. spelling counted. if you misspelled an answer, it was wrong. they were REALLY difficult & stressful tests (i studied weeks ahead of time for hours a day), but definitely interesting & kind of fun.

this is what we are doing for our Micro exam next week, I have been studying since we started a month ago I feel prepared, except for the dang spelling!
