TIPS OF GETTING MOST OF IT FROM MEDICAL COLLEGE EXAM PREPARATION

Visit on Youtube Here are some of the tips that is based on my personal experience while I was preparing for my final year MBBS examinations. I hope you find it useful.  1. Follow the syllabus Medicine is an ocean. You cannot study everything. It’s a fact. You have to be jack of all. Don’t leave any topic even if its not high yield for exams. Make a schedule categorizing all the topics and the day you will study them. It will help you as at the end of the day you will know whether you finished for the day or not.

While I am saying this, I remember my entrance preparation time. I have done my plus2 from St. Xaviers College.  I had started preparing for it since I entered my 12th joining premedical session at an institute here in Kathmandu. I made it to IOM as a fresher.

If that is the case, let me make you clear, it is nearly impossible for you to get it ther...
