Make your own notes

 

make your notes

 

You will go through many texbooks, many chapters, but its not possible to open them again and again and that’s how we skip revising them. To avoid this blundering mistake, Always keep a diary with you whenever you study to jot down important key points, which you must revise on a daily basis. This will be particularly helpful when you are solving national boards.

Important Topics

important

200 questions are asked in Exam paper. If you have studied even decently, you will be able to answer atleast 150. A bit of hardwork will let you attempt another 20. It’s the last 30 questions that will set you apart from rest of the crowd and decide your ranking. Making any mistake in answering any repeated question is like committing a suicide.

YOU CANNOT MAKE A MISTAKE IN A REPEATED QUESTION.

This is your 4th  key to success.

For that you need to analyses which are the favorite question that keep on recurring, making it an important topic for you.  You need to mark those questions which are repeated more than thrice in last 5 years and then read a bit more about their sub topics. Also, If a new question has been asked you need to pay special attention to it and read entirely about it.

 

For example, In 2009 AIPG paper a question was asked about protapers. Previous papers had no hint about any such question. So I read in detail about them, their diameter, lenth tip, etc and as predicted, 2010 AIPG paper had a question related to the tip length of pro taper.

 

So here, we are preparing for a predicted new question and studying in the right direction according to our analysis. Have faith in your gut feeling and intuition.

This is your 5th key to success.

How to Study/Prepare for MDS

how

Now, you have all the required materials. Next hurdle is how to prepare? Everyone in detail advises you what to study, no one says how to do it. Well, I will describe my first hand experience.

My method was as follows:-

  • Prepare a proper time table for 3 months.
  • Everyday study for no more than 8 hours
  • 5 hours to solve papers. ( that way, Mudit Khanna, pulse, Amit Ashish, Bhatia are covered)

The shocking thing that you will realize while solving papers is amount of times repetition occurs of the same question!!

Try this yourself.

For example, take following papers of the same year say 2009

AIPG 2009 (Dental NEET PG paper)

AIIMS 2009 (May and November) (Both Dental and Medical) (4 papers)

AIPGMEE 2009 (Mudit khanna)

So in all 6 papers. Now compare the questions, you will be surprised to see 20-25% same questions in all the papers!!

So if you solve all these papers together, not only you are inadvertly revising them on the same day, also you are now understanding the question paper pattern.

Make sure you have the right list of all the required books.

To understand the important topics , getting inside the paper setters mind and using your intuition as to what new topics might be asked based on your analysis is the third key to success.

  • 1 hour to solve National boards
  • 1 hour to solve dental pulse ( I just studied clinical part)
  • 1 hour to go through your diary / textbooks.
  • 1 hour of your recreational activity mandatory.

The rest of the hours you may spend as you wish to.

What to Prepare

You already must have realized that studying for MDS / Post graduation is like swimming in a Sea of Books! You know every book, but don’t know which one to study from or what to study from which book. One mistake that everyone does is gathers information from everyone and then you become exasperated as you are now over informed. Yes there are a number of books, but you have to decide which one to study from and then stick to it no matter what.

The biggest mistake is to study from every book and NOT REMEMBER ANYTING WHEN TIME COME TO PERFORM.

Revision is the Key
Revision is the Key

REVISION IS THE KEY AND THAT IS ONLY POSSIBLE IF YOU STICK TO LIMITED STUDY MATERIAL.

 

Our brain is not an elastic box that you can keep loading it with all information. You have to be selective, concise and precise.

Be Focused on what you want

You have to be very clear why you want to do MDS/ Post graduation. Getting admission is one thing and dedicating 3 years of your most youthful phase of life is another. So be very very clear about your goal. 10000 other students are vying for the seat that you desire. You have to do something extra, that will get you your dream.

The Difference between Extraordinary and ordinary is just that “Extra”.

Remember SRk’s Dialogue in Om Shanti Om “If you want something with burning desire, the whole of universe will conspire to get it for you”…Lets start reminding the universe!

So your first step is to Write on a paper which college and which Specialty you want and stick it up on your dashboard and look at it like 20 times a day. It works.

It Works!
It Works!
