The Secret

1. Study what’s important

There are more than 700 topics taught during the graduation from which only 200-300 questions are asked in the entrance examination. That basically means more than 50% topics are not even mentioned in the exam. Go for the selective topics filtered from the previous exam papers and mock tests.

It's always better to surround yourself with other students preparing for the same exam. Make this social group a constructive one.

Candidates should never lose hope at any point of time because negativity or demoralisation will consume you and never let you win. So, always be happy and hopeful to crack the FMGE.
