The Basic Medical Sciences department conducted End of Semester 1 examination session 2009/2010, for year 1 and Year 2 students, Faculty of Pharmacy, International Islamic University Malaysia. The question papers for the various subjects consist of 20-35% MCQs, 50-60% essay and short notes and 10% practical/ OSPE. The MCQs were of the true and false type, and one mark is given for correct answer and one mark will be minus for wrong answer.
