I am sure by now you must have an idea of what all dental books you require to clear your BDS examinations. But the journey is still not over!

List Of books For Neet,MDS , AIPG/ AIIMS Pg exam

For MDS preparation, you have to again dig in those basic textbooks to brush up your knowledge. It would be fabulous if you can go through each and every chapter, but ofcourse that task would be too daunting and nearly impossible. So I suggest you go through basic important topics which you list out form previous 5 years AIPG question papers.

These books are a must to visit for certain chapters.

  1. Biochemistry (must for last 20 chapters)
  2. Human Embryology with CD – ROM
  3. Essentials of Physiology for Dental Students
  4. Dental Pharmacology (Full 4 Color)
  5. Phillips’ Science of Dental Materials: 1st South Asia Edition (casting,gold materials and impression materials chapters)

  8. Park Textbook of Preventive and Social Medicine (Part PSM) (Very Very Important book)

Its the secret of top scorers.

These are the basic MCQ books that you would require to start with.

NBDE is another set of 21 books that you will have to solve as around 10 questions are definitely asked in every AIPG exam from it. I has studied only the clinical part.

You can get the entire series from Cheapest Xerox, outside government dental college, GDC Mumbai, FORT area. Everyone knows this place, so it should not be difficult for you to find it. They charge around 3000 rupees (Last that I checked) for the entire series.

How much to attempt?

That’s the million dollar question and this will be your 6th key to success.

This factor alone will decide your ranking, if there is negative marking . As mentioned earlier, If you have studied properly you will easily attempt 170 questions. But so will others. So how will you come in the ranks?

Every question paper has around 15 questions, the answers to which no one knows. So the wise thing is to just leave them.

DO NOT GAMBLE WITH THESE UNKNOWN QUESTIONS. This will be your 7th key to success.

The remaining questions will be such that you will be stuck with 2 options in answer. Only take a gamble if you are sure you will be 50 percent right. As for every 4 questions that you attempt, which you think can be correct, you can afford 1 wrong answer.

Learn tips to prepare from How to Prepare

I had attempted 185 questions, of which I was sure 170 were correct. I took gamble of 15 questions of which I thought I was correct in 10 of them. AIPG key is different than what we think should be correct answers. So keep margin of that too. Don’t be worried once you come out of exam hall and hear people saying they attempted 195-198 questions. Definitely these people will never get in the ranks!

Always be sure to revise Important Topics before exam.

Make sure you have gone through the important books that I mentioned in earlier posts.

Don’t be tempted to attempt more if you don’t know it.

Be calm, double check what you are marking. 3 hours is a long duration and if you know your paper, you will finish it in 2 hours. So you have plenty of time. Do not hurry.

Do not be frustrated if you encounter question after question that you cannot attempt. Its okay. You can always get back to these questions later.
