So, wait, do we need to know individual processes on different bones, or general structures like epiphysis and diaphysis sort of things?

Oh, and we get a lot of vertebra labeling, so at least look at the processes.

that;s what we're debating about,
whether to study basic surface anatomy
or really detailed ones

Whoever moved my test to the actual Anatomy Test Exchange section, thanks a lot, I didn't know how. I just uploaded the answer key, sorry for the delay. It's in the test exchange section, I finally figured it out.

My partner made an Anatomy test, does anyone want me to upload it along with his answer key?

I've been wondering the same thing. I have been studying the processes of the pelvis and the vertebrae but that's it.

Flavorflav makes a good point. Some of the microanatomy is pretty tedious... but is fair game by the rules. Flavorflav's thinking about which levels of anatomy are "main" enough to be on the test is a good strategy. The more important, major features are highly likely to be on the test (and by highly likely I'd give it like 50/50... THINK how many topics there are to cover in A&P this year!). The minor features would be fair game as hard questions. I always use a smattering of hard questions throughout various topics to really parse out the best teams. These minor features aren't super likely to appear and should be a lower study priority, however if you're trying to position yourself for a state medal in Indiana you need to be finishing the main points confidently within the next week or so (state is in 2 weeks) and give yourself some time to pursue the slightly peripheral topics. Of course, A&P is one of Indiana's most competitive events (it's one of two events for which an Indiana student has earned a national medal in both of the past 2 years), perhaps this level of detail isn't required to win all state contests.

Parts of a long bone will almost certainly be on one of the tests you will take.(it was on my regional) If you have the time, check out the link that i posted. those will be on the harder tests.

i think you should study the specific surface anatomy just in case
especailly for states b/c the test will be hard then
i had an invitationals where there were life size femur and scapula models and u had to label certain things on it
so surface anatomy can get pretty specific depending on the test and the event supervisor

we had regionals yesterday and I got 2nd in anatomy for the southern region of Colorado, it was a station test and it was basically, what muscle is this, what bone is this, what type of fiber is under the microscope, and that kind of stuff. It was pretty easy for us, glad we got second =D

it was easy except the microscopic bone cell. i forgot to review that in detail

can anybody memorize all of the bones in the human body?

I'm sure somebody has, some Japanese guy memorized the first 4000 digits of pie. My partner knows quite a few, but not all of them =D
