BDC

Langman’s embryology (has beautiful colored illustrations and clinical correlationsso

better than inderbir singh)

Netter’s Atlas for ref

Ganong (esp the initial chapters- nerve, muscle. plus concepts for cardiorespiratory

Few mcqs at the back of ganong are good.

Lippincott’s (a beautifully illustrated “must read” text : xerox not advised)

Harper for ref for genetics (esp the glossary) and few metabolism charts

for MCQs of 1st year you can do saumya shukla. but please keep in mind that

explanations in amit ashish are far superior. the only reason why s.shukla is popular

is that mcqs are arranged chapter wise. you can follow up s.shukla with

(amit ashish)

Pathology

Robbins (read it as much as possible; must do- general path, hematonco, git)

in case of time crunch, just go through bold letters in blue boxes esp for CNS, or

read captions of the images.

Must do: most of the tumors (like git, liver, wilms/neuroblastoma etc)

MCQ: AA or pulse publictn

Pharmac

extremely important subject

esp concentrate on general, anti-neoplastic and anti-microbials

KDT

MCQ- arvind arora’s book

Sparsh Gupta’s mcq book- for anti-microbials, anti-neoplstc and chapter on new

drugs, d/o/c

Table for anti-neoplastic drugs in Harrisons

Changes of 6th edition KDT well summarised in Arvind Arora’s book

2

Micro

Ananthnarayan

Harrison’s (esp tables for antimicrobials)

questions are now much more harrison’s based

MCQ from AA/Rachna Chaurasia or Pulse Publication book

Radiologist 's concise text

reddy's for reference

Park.most of it.esp epidemio, health programs, nutrition

my search on net for new stats and schemes was mostly ruining of time.

MCQ: deepak mishra's book has poor explanations, better do amit ashish (

plus triple a

dhingra- esp larynx, saliv gland tumors plus the glossary at the back is good.

dhingra’s short mcq book is a must do.

Had studied well Med, Surg,

Medicine: mudit khanna; ref-harrison's

Harrions 17th edition pretest is a good bet. esp if you are a fast reader coz many

questions are really long (but no so difficult) Do atleast few chapters (only if you can

fit it in your schedule)

Surgery

good only for final year!

good. can do only q and a for few chapters.

shaw and dutta for text..give more time to gynec rather than

Opthal and

student’s efforts. so its better to revise just the basic stuff given in Khurana and

Maheshwari. Don’t miss

Maheshwari.

Skin:

captions and see images. read the synopsis.

3

Anesthesia:

and i/v agents.

Radiology:

you’ve read texts of medicine and surgery in final year.

and good for quick revision, should be read completely.

neeraj ahuja- not quite appealing, did only few chapters

scanning the glossary

MCQs for sarp:

Pediatrics:

didn't find 'talekar' or span to be any useful.

know the basics of cyanotic heart diseases from ghai, milestones from Nelson.

the two volumes of Saumya Shukla are okay since they give mcqs chapter wise. And

THAT is perhaps the only reason why its popular. Having the whole of 1st year

subjects together is good. but nothing can beat the explanations of Amit-Ashish

The content for

with caution! Several answers in S.Shukla differ from that given in amit ashish..do

not waste time in searching the references; learn whichever ans you feel is better OR

else follow AA.

Tumor-

again the explanations in AA are superior. You can refer robbins alongwith this book.

you can skip gynec tumors as they can be done from

Behavioral sciences kaplan video-

Flowcharts of bacteriology and virolgy classification from Kaplan

1st Aid for step 1 is good but you’ll never have the time (or energy!) left for it..after

doing AA/S.shukla

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Maximum time given to preclinical and paraclinical subjects. I started off with anat,

then biochem and physio. Then 2nd year,

gyn.

Before starting to read any text-book, just look up MCQs asked on that topic. Say,

before reading general path, just look up mcqs already asked on it. It will give you

an eye for marking facts in the books which might me asked next time.

Download barbie fashion show pc game full download free. Better to open the textbook alongwith the (half cooked) isolated explanation given in

MCQ books. You’ll have pictorial memory plus get to mark new mcqs, if you refer to

the respective pages.

Advantage of Subject wise mcq books:

Chapter wise arrangement of MCQs helps in better comprehension of the subject.

You can finish reading that chapter from the text-book in one go.

Demerits:

extremely time consuming.

very difficult to revise these subj wise books in the end along with recent papers and

AA.

Solution:

OR to do only those topics which you find tough/difficult..

Time give to various subjects:

it is highly variable. For me 1st year was like kora kagaz, so gave around 1 and half

month.

for 2nd yr subjc and med, surg, I gave on an average 2 weeks

New Editions of textbooks:

it used to give me jitters! for textbooks like Park, Ganong etc, just read the preface

and notedown the new changes. read ‘em if you have time.

Harrison's 17th edition

Can't say much about it. I just used to turn pages if I happened to find any

references esp while reading micro- legionella/leptospira etc.

Used to look up tables esp in 1st part- for hematonco and genetics. Genetic Linkage

is well described (it was asked in may08

I really don't know how fruitful it will be to read it extensively. Just that your pre and

para clinical subjects should not suffer.

Revision:

DON'T READ anything new for atleast 2 months before all india

make a fresh time-table

revise those subjects first at which you're bad off

its neither necessary nor possible to revise every subject and every book.

I used to mark diificult mcqs in my books with a colored pen..then used to solve

only those questions

sometimes simply 'turning pages' of a well thumbed book may work wonders.

'never ever mark answers in your amit ashish '
