Given the few PG seats in Government Medical Colleges, there is intense degree of competition to grab a coveted seat in a prestigious Medical Institution.

Owing to the extremely difficult nature of various PG exams, candidates feel apprehensive and succumb to anxiety.

With a view to relieve your stress level and ease your PG preparation, we will share the strategy as to how to correlate different subjects to get the maximum yield out of your study time.

How to correlate subjects?

The simplest way to prepare a subject is to correlate it with the topics studied previously.

How to Study for NEET PG? 

If you are preparing for medical PG exams and need some practical and effective tips to create a consistent study schedule and ace the exams, here are a few tips that might actually help. 

Practice Daily Revision Sessions 

Once you’ve covered the entire syllabus, make sure you invest most of your time for revision. It is advised that you dedicate a fixed time slot each day to revise what you’ve studied so far. When you revisit topics regularly, you are sure to understand them better and retain them for a longer time. Create a well-structured NEET PG study plan including slots for revision and stick to it diligently. 

Practise Multiple Choice Questions 

We understand that theoretical preparation is important to ace NEET PG exams. But, what’s even more crucial are MCQs. Practise multiple choice questions regularly. This will not only help you test your knowledge but also enhance your speed and accuracy. PrepLadder’s QBank 6.0 is the best way to practise MCQs as it has 18,000 MCQs including PYQs. 

Indulge in Group Study

This is one of the lesser-discussed strategies. When you discuss topics with peers, you are bound to get new insights, enabling you to understand concepts better. We advise you to form study groups and have regular discussions. If you find some topics challenging, it’s best to collaborate with peers. 

Take Out Time for Frequent Breaks

This is one of the most crucial pieces of advice you’ll get among other NEET PG preparation strategies. During this time of preparation, you wouldn’t want to study continuously to an extent that it causes a burnout. Make sure you take regular breaks to relax and rejuvenate. The most strategic way to study for medical PG exams is to follow the Pomodoro technique. This technique involves studying for 25 minutes, then taking a 5-minute break. After four cycles like these, you are allowed to take a longer break of around 30 minutes. This method helps maintain focus and reduces mental fatigue.

Maintain a Healthy LIfestyle

You can’t have a sound mind without a sound body. All the hard work that you are putting in would be futile if you neglect your physical health. Make sure you take a proper diet, get at least 7-8 hours of sleep and indulge in light physical activities like yoga or walking. Staying hydrated and practising meditation can also go a long way, when it comes to maintaining a heathy lifestyle.

We hope that this blog will prove beneficial in Correlating and easing your NEET PG preparation.
