your last question ans:
yes you have to focus on history,,first for identification of case,,management and diagnosis,, as you will give the exam of khyber uni which is not the easy giving paper uni ,, you have to study in deep, and with clear concept,,if you dont have the clear concept regarding identification of the SEQS you cannot judge the case,,
khyber uni is the ever toughest uni ,,dont take the SEQS as easy ,,read USMLE lecture videos ,,and inam danish,, for clinical features,, for clear concepts,,

two things put in mind simply,, if you know the concept meaning basis ,,history,, and regarding imporatnt inf about diseasse then you can only write the exact DIAGNOSIS,, as this is most imp,,i have passed step 2 khyber ,,and i know what kind of paper they give ,,,,
