NOTICES FOR STUDENTS:
Thursday, 18 April 2025
The first third of the anatomy teaching block is finished and it is now time for recap and preparation for the first partial exam!
The first partial exam (A1) is scheduled for Wednesday, 23. April at 10:30 am.
The exam consists of 70 questions, 50 are MCQ questions with one correct answer and 20 are MCQ questions with combination of correct answers.
In the first group of 50 questions, there are 5 answers offered for each question, you have to choose a correct/incorrect answer (depending on the form of question). Example:
Tibia contains all but one of anatomical structures listed. Find one that does not exist on tibia:
A. body,
B. condyle,
C. malleolus,
D. tuberosity,
E. neck.
Correct answer is E
In the second group of 20 questions, there are 4 answers offered for each question, you have to choose the right combination of correct answers:
If 1, 2 i 3 are correct choose A
If 1 and 3 are correct choose B
If 2 and 4 are correct choose C
If only 4 is correct choose D
If all four are correct choose E
Example:
Acetabular features include:
1. fossa
2. groove
3. notch
4. crest
Correct answer is B.
In both groups of questions, all teaching units are represented. Time allowed is 70 minutes.
Students should arrive on time (10 minutes before the start) and should bring a pencil, a pen and an ID.
Detailed distribution of candidates in exam rooms will be posted on this site on Tuesday, 22nd of April, in the afternoon (following the colloquium).
One of the most important prerequisites for gaining the ‘priviledge’ to sit the A1 is to ‘correct’ all minuses from prac. classes.
A chance to do corrections is on Tuesday, 22. April. The list of students who need to do this is now visible on Merlin/Moodle. Those students have to come on the above date at 1:50 pm in the seminar room A429 (level 4, Medical building A).
Make sure you have a good plan regarding preparation for the first partial exam (A1). Make sure you have realistic daily study plans, and stick to these plans! Passed A1 is a fantastic confidence booster; do not deprive yourself from it!
We wish you pleasant, restful (not too restful) and safe Easter!
If you have any questions regarding the A1 please contact professor Grković on ivica.grkovic@mefst.hr
Your happy anatomy teaching staff 😊
