Everyone of you will go through this rough phase. How well you cope up from it will decide your rank. Yes, this phase is equally important and shape the way you prepare for your exam.
In my first attempt, I was thoroughly misguided, you may identify yourself with my situation. I studied everything, literally every book that there was to read. Yes, It helped me a lot in gathering knowledge, but that absolutely did not help me clear my exam. I wasted precious hours in my fear of failure to read through chapters that were futile. In my extra effort to retain everything that I read, my brain over burdened with all the information, deleted important things and during exam, I knew I had read this question somewhere, but I could not recollect the answer! Utter frustration! After My first attempt I gave up the thought of pursuing MDS and joined a clinic as a Locum. I felt I slogged my ass for 18 hours a day, dint enjoy my internship, as I used to sit with dental pulse to solve questions, studied while travelling in trains, while eating , etc. Dint go for movies, studies late at night, all for nothing! This is not my piece of cake.
How much to attempt?
I just waited for exams to get over. Every day seemed like I had a mountain to climb in scorching sun!! Well, I dint get a good rank and so I decided to give up MDS.
8 months I was doing locum, was happy. But somewhere I felt I did not give my full potential and then I decided to give a last shot! But this time, with a different approach.
As I mentioned earlier, I chose to study for just 8 hours.
Every 1 hour I took a break of 10 mins. I listened to a song, or did exercise. Every evening for 45 mins I walked listening to my favorite music. On Sundays I enjoyed for complete 3 hours, either a movie, or meeting a friend, etc. I ate while watching my favorite serial or with family. All these small activities made me happy.

MDS preparation is all about training your Mind. It’s a MIndgame. You succeed in that, you will definitely reach your goal. By the time my exams came, I was so hungry for more knowledge, that I was happy to study for 14 hours and yet wasn’t exhausted. That’s how you should feel, if you are studying correctly.
