These types of preparation courses are best for students who can adapt well in well-structured setting with defined programs with a specific schedule. These classes will keep you honest in your preparation with short and long term accountability and tracking. ❖Subject Books There are many books for each of the subjects for your preparation, but be careful not to get scattered by trying to study from too many different books at the same time. The best strategy is to use one book as part of your classroom studying while you are learning the subject, and then transferring these notes when you begin your preparation. ❖Preparation Strategies ➢Once you’ve decided whether you’re going to register yourself in a prep course or not, and which books you’ll need to be using to study, Here a few of the following preparation strategies: ➢Start preparing the moment you set foot into medical school by using board books as you are taking courses in each subject. ➢Before classes officially begin, make a schedule. If your schedule isn’t working, change it so you can get to all of the necessary activities including breaks, eating and recreation! Visit us: https://www.medsmarter.com/

  3. ❖Take practice tests frequently to check where you stand. ➢Practice as many full-length tests as possible in an academic setting to ensure you finish the blocks in the allotted 60 minutes. ➢Prepare for subjects you are not confident with. It’s easy to study the subjects you’re already confident in, if you’ve mastered a subject, spend more of your time focusing on weaker areas. ➢Study with your friends, and use humour and other potential mnemonics to help with memorization. ➢Take your breaks in study days. Get outside. Exercise. Thank You
