Rule of the game is just stick to basics. No hi-fi stuff needed, only basics.
Review basics, review the SOAP format good, nerve supply, actions, review TMJ, shoulder
assessment, hip, knee. Stroke, brain areas affected, sci, levels, ms, respiratory diseases, blood
gases, effect of blood gases, amputations, items included in subjective/objective assessment - try to
confuse with these questions, brain injury - ranchos stages, types of exercises & precautions after
hip, knee surgeries (tkr, thr, acl - pcl reconstruction).
Very basic stuff - will just give 2-3 symptoms and will ask to predict the diagnosis. The sample
questions by Alliance is the exact format and kind of basic questions asked. The hard part is that the
objective type questions choices are so close that you get confused and can make silly mistakes.
So, just go ahead study, the questions in US exam are totally different, Canadian exam questions are
very basic questions. So just stick to
basics.
Read the US exam review book every chapter, it has all the stuff - musculoskeletal, cardiovascular,
neuro and check ure weaknesses, the stuff or topic that you have never touched or reviewed or think
you are weak at.
Devote 2-3 hours everyday and review the stuff.
It's pretty hard to predict what to read or not to read coz the syllabus is very vast.
So read or try to touch atleast everything, but first the topics that you never touched or you are weak
at.
Most of us are weak in Cardio, cp, stroke or Neuro on the whole, ortho most of us is strong so
concentrate on weak stuff more. Basic questions like OA, RA heberdon nodes are found in ?? Knee
jerk depressed in spinal cord level or nerve root affected. Symptoms of UMM lesions/LMN level.
do not put much time in reading whole of kisner and Magee, read the grey boxes of Kisner, read the
precautions for exercise prescription for particular
condition, or post op cases.
The Special tests in maggee r very imp but just concentrate on the ones given in RG. (review guide).
Also go through the pictures in maggee is very helpful since a lot of quistions r picture based!
