Guidelines for August and November 2015 attempt

Guidelines for August & November 2015 attempt:

FIRST THING: You have to decide whether you're going to apply for Aug or Nov?
If you think that you can manage your study & your prep is satisfactory then August attempt is NOT bad.

For Aug: DON’T EXPERIMENT NEW THINGS (New Book i.e if you have studied BRS for Patho then stick to it. Don’t start studying Goljan for Aug)
November People can try one or two new books (as they have enough time)

For Aug & Nov:
FIRST OF ALL cover-up your weak subject(s) or topics in particular subject(s).
Now you may ask how can I know that this subject is weak? The answer is “You know the subject in which you had difficulty while solving MCQs in your last exam” and 2nd If some subject seems boring & you hate it the most then this yours weak subject. It is our basic human nature to avoid hardship. We always choose the task which we consider as an EASY.

ONCE you deal with it (deficient subject) then start others subjects. Aug people have to give just superficial read & November people must give one GOOD read.

CHANGE Your STUDY Style: Try to focus on CPSP’s favorite topics & highest yield point (in any particular topic). While studying any topic JUST EXTRACT Three things. The MOST common, The LEAST common & Unique thing. For example if you’re studying organisms causing Osteomyelitis then Just memorize TWO. The most common Staph and Sallmonella in Sick cell disease pts.

MCQs: BOTH (Aug & Nov) have to solve MCQs books (Asim, Chandkian’s & Rabia Ali – Medicine candidates should also solve Ganong’s MCQs – Link is here)
While studying course books, solve Rabia Ali along with it (as it is complied chapter wise)

SOLVE MAXIMUM RECENT PAST PAPERS: If you can manage your time then solve other specialties papers too (medicine people – surgery & gynae etc papers and vice versa)
Recent Past Papers mean Feb 2014 to June 2015.

Books? We already shared the table for medicine & allied (Link is here)

SEEK HELP: We all need motivation as well as help. So whenever you feel low or need some help, ASK. Group is full of helping people.

LAST but NOT the LEAST: Ask people for prayers as success in part 1 is = Hard work + Good Luck + Prayer.


Best of Luck.
