The 1st Professional MB Exam Experience.

Medical school can be fun and exciting, but it has its own dreaded aspects. Exams are often tough and challenging, but the joy and relieve you get when you scale through them are worth it all. There are 4 professional MBBS exams in medical school, commonly referred to as MB exam for short by students. Part 1 to Part 4 MB exams. Generally Part 1 is written by 300L, Part 2 by 400L, Part 3 by 500L and Part 4, the final exam, by 600L.

This post will focus on the first MB exam written in 300L. 3rd year is the apex year at the preclinical level and this exam is one of the most dreaded. It is a rate limiting exam. The student is tested in Anatomy, Physiology and Medical Biochemistry. Failing all 3 courses means withdrawal from medical school. In order words, one would be advised to switch to Anatomy or Physiology(if those departments have vacancies) or probably rewrite jamb and apply for medicine again if one is so interested in doing so.

The exam has several sections, Theory, MCQs(multiple choice questions), Practicals and Viva(oral examination by external examiners). The student is tested based on everything he or she has learnt from 200-300L in Anatomy, Physiology and Medical Biochemistry. The work is so voluminous and the questions can come from anywhere, this is part of what makes the exam tough and scary.

There's also the possibility of getting veto failed in Viva, even if the student had already reached 50 marks, which is the pass mark, before Viva. This can happen if the student performs so poorly during the Viva. Typically the results are released the same week that the exam ends. One needs to pass all 3 to proceed to the clinical level, 400L and above. Different schools have different systems but generally failing 1 or 2 out of the 3 will result in a resit exam In about 3 months time.

Medics,

It's a new year and some of us have already set targets for the year.

Soon, the new year won't be new any longer.
The best we can do now is to get to work.

For those of us that are to sit for JAMB UTME this year, it's time to intensify your preparations.

For those of us already in Medical school, keep grinding, consistently.

The message is clear, don't procrastinate, the festivity is over, start grinding, the time is now.

Pay now, play later.

May that dream of yours come true.

We wish you all success this year Amen.🙏🏾

Good day everyone. We've created a group for MBBS/BDS students at the clinical level. As you're probably aware, we also have similar groups for MBBS/BDS students at the premedical(100 Level) and preclinical (200-300 Level) stages.

This particular group will focus exclusively on clinical students. Currently, the group is only open to 400L students. Useful materials such as textbooks, MCQs, videos e.t.c will be shared on the group.

If you'd like to join the group, or you know someone who's a 400 Level MBBS or BDS student, you can inform them as well.

To join, kindly indicate in the comment section. Please refrain from posting your WhatsApp number directly in the comment section to avoid scammers. Instead, you can send it to us by messaging the page and you'll be added. Looking forward to working with you all.

Admin: Emmanuel.
