Mar 22, 2022

NEET SS Medicine Preparation
Dr. Santosh has advised to divide 87 days systematically.
Here is how you must begin your NEET SS Medicine preparation. You should devote 55 days to studying the second volume of Harrison’s Principles of Internal Medicine and spend 32 days studying the first volume. The first 40 days out of the planned 55 days should go into reading, and the remaining time should be devoted to revision. Following the similar fashion, 25 out of the 32 days planned for the first volume should be spent for the first reading. Revise everything you have read in the remaining 7 days. This is how you should study Harrison's Internal Medicine book.

However, if you have chosen to rely on PrepLadder for your preparation, you have no reason to worry. Santosh sir will cover the topic in just as much detail as required in one of his future YouTube Live sessions. So, subscribe to our channel and stay tuned!
- You must study Headache in detail.
- Harrison’s bears a table related to Hemoptysis, which is too crucial for your preparation to be overlooked!

- Pulmonary Hypertension is an essential component of CVS and should not be missed at any cost!
- Aspirants usually overlook Diseases of the Aorta. However, it is a crucial topic from the examination point of view.

- Important topics from Critical Care Medicine include ARDS, Sepsis and Shock, SAH, and Brain Death. Head to the app to watch Dr. Santosh’s video lectures and read his notes on the updated SSC Guidelines to ensure that you don’t miss anything.
