I got a rank of 70,000+ in NEET PG 2019. I felt highly demotivated at not qualifying, and I realized that this wasn’t because I lacked knowledge but because I lacked the proper method. After one year, in NEET 2020, I got an AIR of 125.
Hi guys, this is Akshay Kumar from Gandhi Medical College, Hyderabad. I am a E-Gurukul student from 2019.
Clinical and Internship
My first recommendation for the students is to focus on learning, reading standard textbooks, and listening to their professors. Then, you can enhance your clinical and reading with E-Gurukul lectures, which will help you answer the “why” at all times. There are hardly any concepts explained on the app without giving an apparent reason.
An internship can prove to be a one-time opportunity to build your overall skills, so leaving it for a faster result isn’t as fruitful as most make it be. Watching selected E-Gurukul videos will help you differentiate the proper techniques from wrong throughout your internship, staying on par with the current updates. Learning and practicing the updated rules is the best way to remember what’s what. Also, it gives a considerable benefit during your entrance exams for PG.
Enhance Your Trust in Your Sources and Surroundings
Don’t beat yourself too much trying to gather the best of sources. Instead, use a single, trusted source. For me, the best option was E-Gurukul. Don’t second guess yourself and wonder if your friends are following something better. Knowing 50 topics comprehensively is far more advantageous than having a vague idea of 500 different topics. Besides, all reputed sources are quite the same.
Videos, Question Bank
During the preparation time, watch the E-Gurukul videos once and printed notes to familiarize yourself with them. The gist is already there. After your first reading, practice Q-Bank MCQs and bookmark the ones you’d like to come back to. During subsequent revisions, you can attempt and review the bookmarks alone. I started with around 7,000 bookmarks and slowly narrowed it down with each revision, serially unmarked the questions I was sure I needn’t look back on.
Grand Tests and Custom Modules
Start doing grand tests early once they start to go live. You can learn just as well from each of your wrong answers as you can from a notebook. Reviewing test papers in a group is advisable. E-Gurukul explanations not only explained why a particular option was an answer, but they also discussed why the other options were wrong. This aspect helps a lot understand how to rule out possibilities, so go through the explanations well. Use the guess tracker during grand tests to assess your probability of guessing right. That percentage helped me set the risk during my final exam and confidently mark all 300 questions, even if I had to think a few. When you begin with something you are better at, you’re more likely to maintain a positive attitude throughout the exam.
Revise and Take Care
I finished my first reading roughly by the end of July, giving me ample time for revision. The number of revisions doesn’t matter; 3 effective and smart revisions are enough to get you up the slope.
You might feel tired, worn out, and might have breakdowns. When such things happen, please talk it out to your friends or family. It is okay to take help because we are humans and what we are trying to do is much more than what we are programmed to do.
Trust yourself, believe in yourself, and most importantly. PUT YOUR HEART INTO IT!
