DEAR TOPNOTCH FRIENDS:

PLEASE FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS:

1. These questions are previous diagnostic, midterm, and finals exams of Topnotch, almost all of them made by Topnotch Board Exam Topnotchers.
2. Answer this Topnotch Superexam seriously 100-items at a time. Cover the “Explanations” Column. Do not immediately look at the answers from the
answer key. That’s not the correct way of answering sample exams. You need to treat these MCQs as exercises and not as handouts.
3. Time yourself. 1.5 hours per 100-item block.
4. After answering each 100-item block, refer to the Topnotch Answer Key for the correct answers. Please be careful of “frameshift mutations” when
checking your answers – check every 10 items. (the format of the answer key was designed for you to practice against “frameshift mutations”)
5. The Topnotch Superexams are EXERCISES for the actual med boards. They will not appear verbatim in your future exams. More than knowing what’s
the correct answer, it’s more important for you to:
a. Know why the other choices are wrong
b. Know why the other choices were included in the first place
c. Know the explanation to the correct answer
6. Sharpen your mind by answering the Topnotch Superexams. Most of these questions based on past feedback are more difficult than the actual questions
in the med boards. In these exams made by Board Exam Topnotchers, if you’re getting a score of 60/100 , that’s already a good score. More than 80/100
is outstanding.
