took it as well. The questions were overall WAAAY easier than I thought, but covered much more territory than I anticipated. I may have failed it because I focused my studying a little too much on US physics and memorizing formulas which was a teeeeeny part of the exam. There were questions...

has anyone had success with a recruiting company in the past? or is it better to just send emails cold to each hospital i am interested in?
