Note: So guys all the questions were repeated and most were very common ones. I had given the May 17th exam in Melbourne (30 % pass rate) and compared to that it was way less difficult. About 59 people gave this retest, 31 passed and 28 failed. I really feel for the guys who have failed. Its a harrowing and extremely depressing period. First try is always the best try. From my experience i can say that group study is IMPORTANT, so is past QUESTIONS, and equally important is PATIENT SAFETY. I wish you all the best.
May Lord Ganesha and Goddess Saraswati bless us all…
