MCQ'S FROM CHANDKIAN, ASIM AND SHOAIB FOR PART 1 FCPS AND MURAD. --AOA friends.. by the grace of Allah paak and prays of my family n friends i have cleared part one medicine. it was my first attempt. i dont have much to say abo ut the way of preparation, i followed the general way, visited sites to get a no whow of paper pattern, remained in touch with my seniors who alredy have cleared for support and to get the required speed..... Duration: 3 months , 9 to 10 hrs daily.. i am alredy excluding the time i wasted, bcoz act ually i started 4 months back but my speed was v slow..2 to 3 hours only and i w asted my time in chatting on fb untill finally my laptop crashed, and tea fell o n my mobile... so i HAD to study onlyyyyyyyyy...:( 4 months period is the best t ime but u can make it in 3 too, BOOKS : Physio: BRS and KAPLAN : kaplan too bcoz my sis told me to do so, some topics ar e well described there esp endo and respi.. my friends who did brs only also cle ard alhamdulillah, and few who did both , unfortunately couldnt.. it depends how strong ur grip is alredy to the subject. Patho general : goljaan: it contains a good portion of blood and immunity that i s lacking in other books, also contains a bit of related biochem and clinical , whatever book u choose, plz give proper time to general patho Systemic patho : BRS ( not goljaan it is lengthy). Micro: first aid is enough if u r going thru general n systemic patho properly. Gross anatomy: snells review is enough , plus netters atlas, atlas helps u to re call easily and even to attempt the stems u havnt gone through..give your fresh time to upperlimb head neck n thorax. General anatomy: the chapter on types of joints and cartilages. Embrology: high yield Histology: my seniors told me to do it from specific books but i had short of ti me, so i did it from histo portion in the kaplan anatomy, plz u ppl DONT TRY THI S AT HOME :D go thru a proper book, otherwise its risky.. Neuroanatomy: the portion of neuro in kaplan anatomy. it has the required conten t. Pharma: first aid bcoz if u go thru details of it from the text books, still u c ant recall it fully on the exam day . u can turn "GUJNI" any time ..pharma is su ch a subject... so better to review the relatively smaller portion in first aid again n again and the chap on kinetics n dynamic from kaplan pharma or some othe r buk.

Biochem: chap on nutrition, vitamins from any book.. and better to go thru the f irst aid portion of biochem atleast once..but i did only imp things from there.. Biostats: first aid. Additional books: first aid is good for the revision..it contain key points that are frequently asked, immuno portion is good, and others too. i left anatmy phy n patho region as i have done it in detail from the above metioned buks already .. i avoid new buks for revision.. but biochem, biostats, immuno,micro are good there. MCQ aib wer .so Books: chandkian and murad...i was waiting for the new edition of asim n sho but it didnt come. some of the answers in these buks are not correct, the ne editions have less mistakes..u can rely on the question but not the answer.. discuss them with fellows.

1) if any mcq come from a part u havnt read, cover that part from the buk, bcoz not the same but related question usually come. 2) dont focus on the right option only, check y other options are false. 3) mcqs always take much more time then we expect..better to cover them with the routine first read.this helps u focus more on the frequently asked topics. i di d it in last so had to open the buks again n again for explanation... 4) unfortunately these buks have become a significant part of part one test..so go thru them, .i cleared bcoz i have done them..otherwise ..... No. of reads: sincerly i did only two reads...first read was detailed and detail ed.. and second was a a quick incomplete review.( it may change from person to p erson, i have this habit of depending on the first read since mbbs frst yr...but i personally believe and also try for multiple reads , revision makes u perfect ..its true, plz arrange the schedule accordingly) frequently asked topics: abgs, oxygen disociation curv, adh,pth, brachial plexus and associated clinical, types of joints, type of hypersensitivity, hla associa tion, type of transport in differnt organs eg in proximal tubule of kidney for g lucose, ..... Grup study versus individual: grup study saves ur time, u can search for an answ er and ur friend can for another, helps to build hope and motivates to keep on s tudying for many hours. i had no such company..those who lived close to my resid ency werenot appearing..and i had to cope with it alone..my other friends who di d combine study cleared too, and no doubt their prep was better than mine. With job or without job: i only studied, no job. few of my "cheeta type" fellows did job as well and cleared too in first attempt.. but most of the seniors sugg est to give ur full time to study,,atleast in ur first attempt..i agree with the m What when u are tired n lose hope: during this period of continous study, u will lose hope , will be tired of the routine, want to burn all ur books and say " bhaar me jai part one..mjh se nahi hota aur. maasi ban jao gi jhaaru marney wa ali , ya parlour khol lu ge,km pese milen ge magar is azaab se jaan to chutey gi ...apni betion ki to matric pass hotey hi shaadi kar du ge..koi zarurat nahi par hney ki..yaad to rehta hi nahi kuch wese bhi" . yes..this was exactly my n my friendz condition after two months... This is the

time u need motivation and hope... so be in touch with ur friends NOT appearing in part one.. they are not stressed like u , and will give better support than o ne who is going thru the same situation..i remained in touch with some of my Pgs , my already passed out fellows, they really encouraged me and helped me not to waste time..some of them were so "chipku" that they weekly inquired what i have covered n am i studying or wasting time :) thanks to them. Is it luck or effort: luck comes wohe he jis ki wo koshish karey" t thing..pray to Allah to give u e subject, turn ur little effort grace of Allah, as i consider my with effort only.. Allah says " insaan k liyey .. so try hard.. and ofcourse the most importan strenght, to help u get a better approach of th into a bigger reward... my success is only the effort little..

What if u fail: meri to bachat ho gai , so i cannot comment on it...but i have s een my sis..my jigari friendz gettin failed,,but the best thing about them is , they are well aware of their stamina, they r ready for march and they will prove it IA in the coming attempt n take it as a part of takdeer only..barey cheeta t ype hen yaar..hats off to them. me hoti to shaid na kar pati. Allah always have better plans for us,,, better than ours...so appear again and try again..2nd attempts are usually successfull best of luck to all..
