MCI DEC 15' EXPERIENCE

Hi guys, congrats to all successful candidates.  GOT 184, first attempt, no active coaching.  It all started 5 months back in July, where after getting my provisional certificate I went on to continue  with my internship in China, and was wondering the same time about my preparation for the upcoming  dec 2015 FMGE. It was a tough time to decide on my strategy of preparation. I was lucky to have some  of my seniors who guided me on this.  The main concern was the time management ( as I was preparing with ongoing internship) and the depth  of study. I was even worried about the changing pattern of NBE exams and the lack of repeat questions.  Well, keeping all the thoughts aside I decided to start the preparation as soon as possible.  I enquired about any notes available for FMGE, and I got to know about DIAMS notes are the best.  But it would have been harder for me to study those notes as I did not attend the DIAMS classes,  and reading and revising those notes will take a lot of time.  So I decided to start with few subject guide books which I studied during my university exams.  I started with the following subjects using subject guides -  1. Pharmacology - sparsh gupta  2. Pathology- gobind garg  3. Medicine- mudit khanna  4. Surgery- Amit ashish  I did the questions of the above guides and few required explanation.  I started in August and it took me around 5th of September to finish these four books once.  From 10th of September I shifted my preparation to Self assessment book by KAMAL KV sir.  I was able to finish it by 25th October. Doing this book gave me a lot of confidence and a genuine  hold of all subjects. While doing this book, I referred PSM by VIVEK JAIN for latest facts and national  programs.  From 26th October to 6th dec I just revised the above stuff 2 wise. During revision I read few notes  from AFMG-MICRO, physio and forensic. These notes were written by me 2 years back when  AFMG TEACHERS came to our university for promotional class.  I gave exam on 9th DEC  GOT 184.  [/b]key points-  1. Planning- keeping time restrictions mind.  2.touch all subjects  3. REVISE THE REVISED. ---- GOVIND
