Does anyone else find that they hardly use their note sheet on tests? Maybe it's been higher quality tests or just experience but my partner and I almost never use our sheet excluding biases and some specific pathogen information.

Yeah, my notesheet is basically definitions (in case the test asks us to define a term and I want to double check), diseases (agent, spread, symptoms, incubation period, etc.), scientists, organizations, past outbreaks, and biases, and the tests I've seen kind of just go through the basics and ask a few questions about those things.

Same here. We use ours quite a bit for definitions of terms, diseases, and making sure our formulas are correct, but other than that we don't use it nearly as much as we did a few months ago.

I’ve seen this a lot, it’s usually epidemic-endemic-pandemic-otherstuff. (There was this one test with a matching section about 30 questions long. It took a long time.)

At the NEBO invitational our test had about 100 terms :shock: that we had to define and provide examples for. I only got to 50 of them (each worth just one point) when I realized it would be better to help my partner with the rest of the test.

If you just put down some info for person, place, time, and clinical, you should get full points.
