Surgery and Allied Guidelines
This is how i prepared for FCPS-1 in Surgery and Allied and passed Alhamdulillah in First attempt.
First of all dont do any job and lock urself in a room. stick to study table.
First i started from Physiology.
First i watch the Video lecture of Dr. Najeeb chapter wise. e.g CVS physiology then same Chapter from BRS and same from First AID ( only physiology portion of that chapter).
after completing Physiology i Revised whole Physiology (from BRS only) once again and that revision really help me a lot.
Then comes Pathology.
I saw Dr. Najeeb video lectures of pathology chapter wise. Especially Neoplasia highly recommended.
Then i saw PATHOMA video lectures chapter wise.
Then read from BRS Pathology and First AID ( only patho portion).
After Completing this i give Revision to whole Pathology ( from BRS) only.
Then comes Anatomy: ( my favourite)
I just give a superficial reading to Snell review ( short snell)
Then give superficial reading to BRS anatomy.
Then again read Short snell in detail for second time.
Then again read BRS anatomy in detail for second time.
then i realize that BRS anatomy is far far better than snell review. so i BURN short snell in ashes and Pick BRS anatomy for third time and give PROOF reading ( means word by word, spending time on each line and paragraph and memorizing it along with NETER ATLAS )
The comes MicroBiology = from First Aid + Dr. Najeeb video lectures
Biochem = First Aid + Dr. Najeeb Video Lectures of Biochem
Pharmacology = First Aid
Didnt do Histology from any book. Just watch video lectures of Dr. Najeeb of Histology
Now NeuroAnatomy= Dr Najeeb Video lectures of Neuroanatomy.
(Its highly highly recommended believe me).
Then i read High Yeild Neuranatomy
Then i read Kaplan Neuroanatomy
Embryology= Dr. Najeeb Video lectures + high yeild Embryology + First Aid ( embryo only)
Then i again read whole FIRST AID
then again Revise whole First AID for second time
Now during this schedule of preparation i give daily 2 hours at night to MCQ books before sleeping.
i read Following MCQ books.
Chandkian
Murad
Azim Sheikh
Asim shoaib surgery
asim shoaib Medicine
asim shoaib Gynae
Rabia ali
Raja shehzad Gul
and another important thing is that dont miss the MCQs of BRS at the end of each chapter.
Then after completing the theory i pickup MCQ books and completed all of them for the 2nd time.
Then only 20 days were left before exam and i revised whole course.
this is how i read the books for this preparation on following number of times
BRS physio x 3 times
BRS patho x 2 times
BRS anatomy x 4 times
Snell review x 2 times
First AID x 3 times
MCQ books x 2 times
Dr. Najeeb lectures x 1 time
Pathoma lectures of pathology x 1 time
Dr. Najeeb lectures are very lenghty, i watch them by fast farwarding with the speed of x 1.5 or 1.8 in VLC player. then a lecture of 1 hour completed in 35 minutes and save my time. and during extra and free time i open up Facebook and solve the mcqs and see discussions of mcqs in the group fsps prep batch 2005 and 2010 and really help me a lot in understanding trick of solving mcqs.
It took 4 months for all this.
this is how i prepared and Alhamdulillah Succeded. I will not say its Luck. for me its only hard work. because i was a so dumb abd regular supply holder through out 5 years of MBBS. and i work hard and with help of prayers i passed in 1st Attempt. dear this is not easy exam. you have to put extra effort to pass this. plz dont take it easily. Thank you.
