What changed
- Refined protocol explanations in high-yield pathways with direct compare points to prior standards.
- Added scenario drills where guideline order is the core differentiator between options.
Why it matters for your score
- Guideline chronology often defines the single best answer under exam pressure.
- Without explicit compare-and-contrast revision, older recall habits persist and cost marks.
Practical checklist
