Preparing for exams? Do not forget these

Source : freedigitalphotos.net

Often when I hear about an exam, chill runs down my spine. This can be seen with manyothers too. I still remember how i managed to pass my final exams.
 Let us see what we need to pass an exam with flying colours

1. A good memory
2. Good Health

That is it. Yes, its just these two which are the most important of all. So, now let us discuss these

Memory
 Are you often unable to remember the names of people you've met? Do you go to a room and think what are you there for? Well don't worry this is just a tip of an iceberg. There are many more issues related. Just ask the person who is suffering how much demoralising that can be. Memory is an important skill that you can improve.

Here are a few things which you can do to improve learning and retaing:

• Use mnemonics - use by associating it with people or, by rhyming, or, just a funny phrase which makes it more fun to learn.
• Mind mapping - just write a word and link everything around it. For e.g. write car and circle it. Now draw arrow and write its colour, type, segment, etc. and so on. This is how you do it.
• Visualise on a regular basis - No you won't start hallucinating. Visualisation if done regularly will help you to associate and recall images.
• Focus on important things - of course you won't be able to remember everything you read. So, its important to focus
• Revise often - It helps you to shift the information from short memory to long memory.
• Socialise - It helps you keep your mind alert as while communicating with someone you focus and concentrate on the words and that helps you.

Now about Health

• Eat well.
• Drink plenty of water.
• Manage stress.
• Get enough sleep.
• Limit Caffeine, Alcohol.
• Stop smoking.
• Exercise at least 15 min./day.

This way you can maximize your brain's abilities.Try these and see the results for yourself. Though i can't gaurantee the success but, yes you can improve your memory

FMGE / MCI Exam Preparation Tips

FMGE / MCI Exam Preparation Tips

Source - FreeDigitalPhotos

FMGE (or Foreign Medical Graduate's Exam) is conducted by National Board of Examinations (NBE) on the last sunday of March and September.
 Scared ?
well there is nothing to be scared about. No examination has ever framed that can't be retained in the brain. This is anxiety(exam fear).
Yea, you might be thinking if it is possible to pass the exam even if you didn't study during the whole course. well the answer is yes.
just follow what i've stated and you will be confident enough that you can pass the exam.

What subjects you need to study?
There are two parts of examination Non-Clinical and Clinical and you have to study just these subjects

Non-Clinical
Biochemistry (DIAMS notes/ across)
Anatomy (DIAMS notes/ across/ mudit khanna)
Microbiology (Rachna chaurasia/ DIAMS notes)
Pharmacology (DIAMS notes / Gobind,Sparsh)

Clinical
Surgery (DIAMS notes/ Amit Ashish)
Medicine (Marwah Sahab's notes (DIAMS) / Mudit Khanna)
Obstetrics / Gynaecology (Sakshi Arora/ DIAMS notes)
Ophthalmology (at least 25 questions) (DIAMS notes / Across)
PSM (at least 25 questions) (Vivek Jain / DIAMS notes)

If you think this is a lot, well, its not
So, now the question. What books to follow
I've listed above a few authors. Apart from those you can buy

• Self Assessment and Review of FMGE / MCI Screening Examination by KAMAL K V - This book has the last five years questions from MCI Screening.

• Platinum Notes (3 volumes) - These books has got all the necessary information for passing the exam though it is for PG, but, it helps.

 Whether you should join coachin classes or not?
well in my opinion it is better to join coaching (DIAMS or DAMS) as you will be updated about the new information or pattern or topics being asked more in the exams.(DIAMS, Gautam Nagar, has better faculty and good results)
well option 2 is that you buy or get the notes of coaching centres in the xerox shop right next to the institute. But I'd say those notes might confuse you more if you didn't join the classes because th abbreviations etc are more.

How much time to spend?
It completely depends on the rate at which you can study. Here's a little help
I can study three pages in 1 hour so i decide the time like that.
You have a lot of time to study so don't worry.
While studying take 5 min. break every 30-45 min.

How much time you have?

• 6 Months - the target can be achieved

• 3 Months - the target can be achieved

• 2 Months - i suggest you start studying the MCQs and leave the theory and do revise the part of theory you already know.

Just keep aside at least half the number of days you take to study these subjects for revision.
DONT SLEEP UNTILL YOU ACHIEVE YOUR TARGET

thats all i can tell you but if you have any queries just comment below and i'll answer asap.

Remember guys you are DOCTORS. This exam might push you to low self-confidence but, don't be discouraged. YOU CAN DO IT !

ALL THE BEST
