Other anticipated changes are to emphasize more on clinical scenarios rather that just merely asking about factoids.

yes no more simple questions all are now a paragraph situation.

Some of the pharm are experiments, they are all theory with drugs x and Y

this threw me when I took my step one.

glad the nightmare is passed!
