Study Med Abroad - Test Prep Help

<p>Dear friends from the U.S.</p>

<p>I am a student from Austria, in the middle of Europe, and I am trying hard to get into Medical school here. Therefore, I have to take the Austrian version of the MCAT (Med school in Austria begins at an undergraduate level, so basically its not the same thing.)
Anyway, I wanted to ask you guys, because most of you are very sophisticated, when it comes to Test preparation, if you could give me any advice.
The Austrian MCAT, has 2 test sections, where I struggle a bit. First of all, there is this so called “recompose figures” section, where you have to put cutten pieces from rectangles, trapezoids, squares, pentagons, etc. together. F.e. there are 3 pieces of a figure given, and now you have to decide, by choosing from A-E (single-choice), from which figure these pieces are. The pieces should complete to one geometric figure, and mostly E is the answer choice “not given”  so the pieces complete to a certain other figure. </p>

<p>A sample of this section: <a href="http://www.studymed.at/kcfinder/upload/files/Viereck.jpg%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.studymed.at/kcfinder/upload/files/Viereck.jpg&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Another, section is where you have to learn eight Allergy ID’s of fictional patients. I am searching here, for an ideal mnenomics. :-/</p>

<p>I would be grateful, if you could give me any advice on that. Maybe a technique, a strategy, any advice or idea, where I could practice this section!</p>

<p>Thank you in advance guys, I count on you!</p>

<p>All the best,
