What do you think is the correct approach to study for NEET PG? Only MCQ's or Theory + MCQs?

Theory + MCQs daily is the correct approach for NEET PG preparation.

UG classes and postings are equally as important as the 8 months period we spend for PG preparation after Internship.

Our Institute Faculty Notes and VISION. Review books for MCQs.

Have you attempted PGMEE previously? If yes, what did you do different this year that led to your success?

Yes, I attempted during my internship only with my UG classes. This time I have dedicated my maximum possible time for preparation.

How big is the role of practice and revision while preparing for NEET PG and how much time should be dedicated for it?

Revising frequently through MCQs, pictures and Class Notes helps reinforce rather than fully reading books again and again. Listening to classes is much more important than self reading. Dedicate maximum possible time of 10 to 14 hours per day

Did PrepLadder play a part in your success? If yes, how?

Yes, it played a vital role in my success. I am especially thankful to PrepLadder for sending Daily MCQs quiz with a short note on answer and related points for revision. It helped to stay in touch with the key points. The Mock Tests conducted by PrepLadder at All India level also proved useful since the competition in these was huge.

Did you use a time table/study plan to keep your preparation on track?

It was convenient for me to study the subject that I have attended during the weekend class in the coming week. It helped me to keep my preparation on track and also facilitated retaining the information.

One mistake that you believe everyone must avoid while preparing for NEET PG.

One mistake which everyone must avoid while preparing for NEET PG is that one should not discontinue preparation. One must put in consistent effort anyways either through Book-reading or practicing MCQs or Images or Group Discussion or Classes.
