Hi All,
First of all, Hello to everyone.
It was a long long day, cant even imagine how min go so fast.
Now few tips-
First of all,
MEDICINE is the key-
KAPLAN AND UW-THE BEST.
In kaplan, know every single line and know uw concepts added to it.
UW IS THE BEST FOR Q AND KAP Q BOOK is awesome too.
Kaplan q bank is okay, but cardio is superb.
The exam is very reasonable, JUST BE CALM AND PATIENT.
Have a good night sleep and eat food the previous night nicely.
basic, basic q, asking for mechanism, some are little tricky.
but they have to tell something, some clues so be very careful in picking them-only needed.
the q are not too lengthy, 6 to 7 lines, similar to uw, some are long-10 lines esp-psych.
in psych, majority q are from drugs.
few xrays, 3 to 4 ekg's, ct- 2 to 3.
some have only 3 options.
matching set 3 to 4 in every block. they have options from A to K or till I.
gynec-lots of infertility, ammenorrhoea, adeno, endometriosis.
obs-bleeding and labour
surgery-trauma.
pead-3 I's-Infectious disease, Immunology, Immunodefeciency-UW best.
Medicine, cannot stress, this is the bulk.
Today I am done with my exam. I didnt take NBME.
DID kap notes very thoroughly, q bank, q book and UW twice and its notes.
UW-do twice, the q are not hard like uw, but the same concepts twisted in and out.
Now finally I have to pray to GOD to give me a decent score. I just finished q on time. Did not have time to go through marked once. So read carefully once u read a q first time itslef, time is the key.
Please pray for me and will tell you once I get the result.
Good luck friends-Keep going.
A SPECIAL THANKS TO BEN.
BE CONFIDENT AND STRONG EMOTIONALLY. |
