Most practice exams I’ve encountered make memorizing the DSM in full seem strictly unnecessary. Questions tend to be more about a small set of differentials (Schizophrenia ve. Schizoaffective D/O, PTSD v. Acute Stress). But, then again, why not? It’s only time and more time and a little more time and some brain space. It’ll all come in handy later in life for dx’ing clients, friends, and family.
Others have worked out mnemonics for DSM criteria so you don’t have to. I’ll grow the list as I encounter more.
