Tips to tackle the exam giving year

Tips to tackle the exam giving year

(From January to May)

These five months form the most important period of the

2 year long struggle towards the target.

You will face a lot of tough situations during this period

and you will get a feeling that “ab bas ho gya yaar”, but

for god’s sake, please don’t give up! Trust me; you are

going to cherish these feelings after the exams.

One of my teacher once said

“Yaar tayyari kar rhe ho toh aisi karo ki maza aaye , karte

waqt tmhe aaye and tmhare result k baad sbko aaye , aur jb do saal baad peeche mudkr dkho toh tmhe khud par

naaz ho

Previous year questions are a boon for medical students.

Practice them again and again.

First of all set a goal and do every possible thing to

achieve it!!!

Self-motivation is the best thing that will help you in

achieving your goal.

January

The students are in a stressful situation since the

preboard examinations mark the beginning of the

month.

My advice to the students is that they should give this 5-

10 days’ time completely to their preboard examination

because in a way it will added to their preparation for

12th board exams. This is the best time for a student whohas not attended any lecture in school or has totally

ignored the board exams till now to get aware of the

complete course and pattern of the board exams. There



are certain topics in all subjects which are important only

for the board exams, which a student generally leaves

during his preparation for the competitive exams, can be

covered during this time.

These topics are :-

In physics

1. Derivations

2. Optical instruments

3. Semiconductors

4. Van de Graff generator etc. etc.

In chemistry

1. Chemistry in everyday life

2. Polymers etc. etc.

In biology



Biology won’t be a big problem since every student reads

biology NCERT religiously (I hope so)

Aim of a student for preboard exams should be that

he/she should become completely aware of all the topics

important for board exams and how much time is

required to cover them. This will help the student in

deciding that how much time he/she can give topreparation of competitive exams in the month of

February.

The result of preboard exams should not be taken

seriously because there enough time left for completing

the course and a major difference can be created in theboard exams.

A farewell party marks the ending of the month. Parties

and hanging out with friends should be avoided since the

time is moving faster than you think it is.

February



Board practical exams mark the starting of this month.

Student should not play with the practical exams and

should take them seriously.

This month is ideal for revision of 11th

class since a

student is fully aware of the pattern and course of the

board exams and the time required by him for

completion of course. Time required for coursecompletion is different for each and every student so it is

highly advisable that don’t compare anything with

anyone. Its your planning and at least you should be

confident about it.

Generally for a student who has sincerely studied the

whole year, last 10 days of February are sufficient for

board exam preparation.

It is advisable that the student should stop reading

anything else other than NCERT for biology.



Revision of things other than NCERT can be done at the

end of March but reading NCERT in feb will also help in

board exams.

The student should start reading physics NCERT in

February since it will help him in board exams as well as

in preparing for assertion reason questions (AIIMS)

.Assertion reason questions are the main rank deciders inAIIMS ,so ,physics NCERT should be studied in a proper

way keeping in mind the pattern of A/R questions. Same

thing has to be followed for chemistry also.

March

Board exams mark the beginning of this month. Now the

time has come when not only the quality but also the

quantity of time a student puts in studies matter.

Board exams will take almost 80% of March. Board

exams should be taken seriously because they provide

the time and opportunity to read the NCERT books

properly. Trust me; u will not get this much time in April



or in May to read NCERT books. NCERT books will help u

a lot in your preparation for AIIMS exams.

This time is the best for the students who are scared ofInorganic chemistry (almost all!) because questions

based on inorganic chemistry are picked directly from the

lines of NCERT textbook (Same applied for biology) .

The time left in March after the board exams should be

utilised again for the revision of 11th

class because a

student generally becomes saturated with 12th

class

course after the board exams.

It is advisable to revise all the important questions of all

subjects that you have marked in last 2 years of your

preparation in March only.

The best advice which my teachers gave me was “If you

are going to study for 10 hours then 8 hours should be

given for revision through questions and 2 hours for

revision through theory”

NOTE:-



DON’T WASTE ANY TIME AFTER THE BOARD EXAMS

THINKING THAT YOU HAVE DONE A GREAT JOB. THEY

ARE NOTHING IN FRONT OF YOUR ACTUAL TARGET.

SO DON’T LOSE YOUR FOCUS AND CONTINUE TO FIGHT

FOR YOUR TARGET.

APRIL

This can be termed as the most important month in your

two year long journey because it’s the rank deciding

month. Every single student is alert and studies with high

concentration. So, this month has to be taken seriously

and every second should be utilised.

Try to find and give one or two competitive exams which

are scheduled in first or second week of April. This will

help you in getting acclimatised to the exam hall

conditions and you will also get to know your weak

areas.



Avoid studying new matter and stay away from new

books,if you have some time then devote it in revising

your old concepts because they are the one which will

come to your mind in the exam hall.

Keep revising NCERT biology diagrams. (Nothing is more

important than them)

Don’t just keep revising the notes of organic chemistry

because as I mentioned earlier also, the best way to

revise is via questions. You will not be able to solve the

question of organic chemistry in the paper unless and

until you have applied that concept earlier also i.e. during

your practice.

Keep revising the formulae of physics (otherwise there is

high possibility that you will mix all the formulae in the

exam hall)



One of the most important thing is practicing the

previous year questions.

Try to do as many as possible number of full lengthpapers. There are thousands of books in the market

which have loads of full length papers.

Previous year papers are a boon for medical students.

I would like to share one more advice that my teacher

gave me (esp. for physics)

“If you don’t have time, don’t worry, just memorise all

the formulae and one-two numerical based on that

formulae”

Obviously you cannot do this with every chapter and it

should be kept as the last choice.



MAY

AIPMT is generally kept on the first Sunday of May.

I know its easy to say but please try to be calm and

confident. I have experienced this personally that

“Performance in an exam is inversely proportional to

your str ess level”

A lot of people will give you a lot of advices before the

exam,TOTALLY IGNORE THEM and follow your original

way which you have practicing since the start of your

preparation.

I personally didn’t talk to anybody other than my

teachers before the exam. Ask your mother or your

siblings to take the wishes of your friends and relatives

on your behalf because these things can really put a lot

of pressure on you. You can talk to your best friend orany other person who you think can motivate you.



I didn’t study on the day before AIPMT. Now, it depends

on the student , I am not forcing anybody to follow this

advice because this totally depends on the mental setup

of the student.

I strongly recommend a 7 hour sleep before AIPMT .

MAY contd..(For AIIMS)

Time after AIPMT is very very different from your two

year journey.

The more you allow this difference to grow, the more

your preparation for AIIMS suffers. Don’t think aboutAIPMT after the exam. The most common mistake that a

student makes is by wasting time on useless discussions

after AIPMT (even I made this mistake). Don’t be too

happy or too sad after the paper because any of these

feelings will just waste your precious time. This time can

be used for creating the difference (improvement) in

your AIIMS performance.



After AIPMT, Sometime should be given to revise or to

study some higher concepts in every subject. For Physics,

NCERT books should be revised thoroughly for A/R type

questions.

Practice lots and lots of A/R type questions but don’t

think that the same questions will come in the exam. This

is done just to remove the confusion between option 1

and 2.

Just consider AIPMT as a full length paper and try to

analyse your mistakes and your weak areas.

There are some topics such as communication,

semiconductors etc. which will require special attention.

(Topics left during your AIPMT preparation)

If possible, then take antibiotics 2-3 days before theexam so that you remain in a perfectly healthy state on

the exam day.



Tips to be followed before the exam are same as that you

followed in AIPMT.

Final word:-

Dekho bhai, padhna toh padega , uske bina toh kuch nai

hona!!!

Its never too late! (iska matlab yeh nai ki aakhir mein

karenge)

Don’t keep high expectations from your centre. If you

just get a proper table and chair in AIIMS exam , then

consider yourself the luckiest person on Earth!!
