Anyone else take the VTCT A&P today?

I took the VTCT A&P exam this morning.........[&o]

Multiple choice, 25 questions, gotta get 15 right to pass.

Let's put it this way... I nearly cried after reading the first 6 questions and not bein able to answer them!! I started from the back instead! I hope I managed to scrape by. I so damn annoyed though! Our teacher recommended learning diagrams as we can pick up lots of marks through labelling... guess what?...no diagrams to label! not even a cell!! No respiratory system, no reproductive, no heart...all the thing's I revised!! I just pray that the re-sits are soon. I HATE that my whole course rests on this one stupid bloody subject! [:@]

Oh, yeah, nearly forgot what I came here for... Can't remember all the questions cause I was too busy mumbling and grumbling, but there were a few...

Functions of Lymph
Order food passes through the digestive system
order of the small intestines
bones of the shoulder
a bone in the lower leg
First layer of epidermis
Function of leukocytes

There were at least 7 that were REALLY easy, so if you happen to know more about A&P than I do, which isn't hard, then you'll probably fly through it!

Good luck to all if you havn't taken it yet.

RE: Anyone else take the VTCT A&P today?

Can only remember a few I'm afraid, and are not worded as they were in the exam but to just give you an idea

Where is the spleen situated
What do erythrocytes do
Main Lymph duct
What is collagen and elastin
What type of joint is shoulder joint
The name of the movement in digestion
Bones of the skull
Name of membranes
What is hair composed of
How is Lymph drained into the blood stream
What is the function of Skeleton

Sorry can't remember all of them, maybe someone else can add to it. I am also not putting the answers purely because I am sure quite a few of mine were wrong.
