Changing Careers: Physician Assistant Bound

We are half way through the first semester of PA school. I am attending UC Davis which is a unique distance education school where they prefer students to stay in their communities throughout California and then come up to Sacramento for tests and extended lecture information and clinic experience. I just returned home after a long week where we had our first test. The class is Pathophysiology and it is deemed the "weeding out" class as you must get higher than 75% on both tests or you are booted out of the program. The test covers massive amounts of information and you don't know what will be asked so I had to prepare for everything. Obviously for a 112 question test only a sliver of the information is tested but like I said you have to prepare and study everything. This caused extreme stress and worries but come the morning of the test I felt well prepared. After I submitted my test the score of 86% appeared on my screen to let me know right away that I passed. What a relief and success. I like that in PA school competition for grades is finished and now its just learn the information to be a practitioner and prepare well for tests to show you know the stuff. Anyway now on to my other two classes which I have neglected and the next volume of info that I must know for the second test in a few weeks.
