Use Standard Textbook

Cover the important topics from the standard textbook like Nelson text book of Pediatrics in 4 months. Don’t try to read everything. Reading the complete textbooks is not required at all. Start revising even if the subject is 80% complete.

Prepare a revision timetable

Take a notebook and make a note of all the topics you are weak in and prepare your study schedule accordingly, giving more time to the weaker section by keeping them on the top of the list.

Highlight important points

Mark/ highlight the important points. Don’t mark the entire paragraph or sentences. Mark only the keywords. It will speed up your revision.

Use Sticky Notes

Use mnemonics to memorize weak topics

Mnemonics serve as a great aid to memorize and retain difficult keywords and points.

Rationalize your Preparation

Another critical step towards your success is to practice and practice. Practice as much as you can both from conventional and online sources. Solve at least one grand test per week. Try to attempt the test between 9 am to 1 pm as this the time allocated for your final exam. Besides text, don’t forget to look at the tables of Nelson, which are equally important from exam point of view.
