Section 1 was a lot easier than on medentry (or maybe i just messed up majorly).

Section 2 is never that hard but i found for section 2, i eliminated 2 wrong answers and i still had two "right" answers left, so that made it a little difficult...since this was for like 70% of the questions i got.

Section 3 was harder than i expected well not harder but i didnt do so well.

omg yes.  i am so variable with this sections and fkd it. 

50% of the time i got like 85th %ile +, and the rest like 40th to 60th.  Totally screwed that part.

Praying on S1 and S2, but not holding my breath.

Hm, my results are completely contrary to everyone else's. Section one was relatively easy, section two I finished with plenty of time to spare, but I only got halfway through section three before the supervisor said that there were 10 minutes left.

Well look. When the days came..and everyone was like UMAT UMAT.....MEDENTRY? or NIE?

I think I was the ONLY person on this WHOLE forum...that INSISTED, for a lot of people to
consider NIE.

And trust me.......... It really was worth considering :D

Was it better?  NIE?

Practising on paper was always going to be a plus.

No-one listened too me then. I insisted too my friend fady_22 at school very often aswell, however I think he is a natural,
and regardless would have done well tday. He chose Medentry, but got the best package offered.

Ill quote myself "And trust me.......... It really was worth considering :P "  . On paper. Its on paper! BIG BIG BIG advantage!
Because, the quality of the questions = same, explanations = better, notes = better, price= relatively same!, so why NOT?
Your saving your eyes really hence ENERGY. And you can take the stuff too school, for your frees etc.
