MSLT practice questions
My exam is upon me. I will sit hopefully for the first and last time on March 25th at 8am. Honestly I just want to know where I stand at this time. It has come to my attention that a few other members are preparing to take the exam in the next 1-4 months. I propose a study group in which we all post questions in different discussion. I would ask that the techs be allowed to answer these questions first. Afterwards I invite everyone to participate in the discussions of the questions. Hopefully this will help all of us better understand sleep.
If anyone else wishes to post questions please PM me. I have more than I will ever be able to post on my own.
I will start with MSLT questions.
