What made the difference for FMGE Topper Jan 2024

We have distilled the key strategies after analyzing the FMGE topper interview. Here is what we have discovered:

Strengthen fundamentals

Build a strong framework to further expand your knowledge and understanding. Only once foundational knowledge is strong can you move on to understanding complex topics and will be able to face clinical questions in the exam. 

When you have a strong grasp over fundamentals it will enable your critical thinking and analytical skills on the exam day. 

Mock Exams- A No Brainer for Success! 

Unlike most students who fear attempting the mock tests because of the fear of failure, the FMG exam topper for January, 2024 Dr. Aadi stringently practiced MCQs and also appeared for the grand tests and the Champions Exam ‘23 organized by PrepLadder for real exam simulation. 

Not only it helped him assess his preparation but the real exam pattern of the mock test helped him prepare to face the exam pressure, and build confidence for the actual test day. 

Just like him, you can begin your FMG exam preparation by beginning your MCQ practice from PrepLadder’s QBank. 

Trust your gut

From the FMGE topper interview, a major takeaway for you is to go with the gut when all the options of the MCQ appear nearly identical. Yes, Dr. Aadi emphasizes relying on your gut feeling can often be advantageous. Additionally, he cautions against overanalyzing questions, noting that he has fallen into this trap and selected incorrect answers as a result. Many students make this same mistake, ultimately costing them marks.

Revision, revision & more revision!

Nothing can beat revision and this becomes the key deciding factor for how well you perform in the exam! During the last days leading to the exam, Dr. Aadi’s study routine included skimming through his concise handwritten notes for all 19 subjects and a day before the exam he majorly focused on revising all the formulas and other volatile information. 

Not just this but Dr. Aadi utilized his break between part 1 and part 2 of the FMG ‘24 exam to revise his handwritten notes instead of wasting it in idle chatter or discussing part 1- exceptional, isn't it?
