V》TIPS FOR FINAL YEAR:
It’s not like you’ll perform poorly if you don’t follow them, there’s no hard and fast rule like that,
everybody is different
in the end whether you choose to follow them or not, the TRUTH is,
Yes, Final year is tough, due to vast portion, less time and unsure outcomes of practical exams.
1.Final year is simply hyped up by SOME seniors, just picture it as 5th sem of MBBS with slightly more
portion than 2nd year and its practicals being similar to wardleavings plus some viva tables(Instruments
etc.).
2.NO ONE finishes the entire portion, even if 8 full months are available.
(Before finals,
in 1st year.....maybe some portion here and there might've been left untouched
In 3rd year part 1....it IS possible to finish studying the full portion once...impossible to remember each
and everything though(esp. PSM)
In 3rd year part 2.... more portion than 2nd year would be left untouched.)
3.DON’T go to finish full portion, Cover the long notes esp. The repeated ones and the ones which are
clinical cases for practicals (50% of practicals will be done that way)
Page 8 of 27
4.USE Long/short note list(which have questions till 2013) + Past 5 years question papers both regular
and supple batch(to update the list)
In the end, in a short span of time, you'll have to revise all the long notes before papers....so u have to
make sure that you have all the information in 1 place and not scattered everywhere(1 exception is
Paediatrics where questions may be scattered between DK notes, Handwritten Lucky Xerox notes, the
class notes and textbook).
To that end, for some subjects such as OBG(where the textbooks are NOT USER FRIENDLY and you’ve
got no choice) and PAEDIATRICS(where information is scattered in many places and in some instances
may be too detailed...you’ll know what I mean), it’ll help you lot if you MAKE YOUR OWN NOTES for
QUICK REVISION(you could add some stuff from class lectures too)
MEDICINE and SURGERY are VAST subjects, please DON’T waste time making notes for them....(textbook
learning required.
Again, the above info is IDEAL, if you don’t want to make your own notes for OBG and Paediatrics, then
don't. Do whatever that works for you. Be open minded and flexible.
6.DURING THEORY PAPERS not only what you've studied during Final MBBS, but your past 3.5 years'
knowledge(pharmacology, pathology, anatomy, physiology, microbiology, even forensics and PSM) will
help you frame answers on the spot.
So don’t worry about finishing the entire portion, you can rely on your previous knowledge.
Decide on a designated study place....if you're comfortable in the library then study there, if so at home
then study at home....
Don't keep changing your study area....in MBBS final year......it may disrupt rhythm.
Page 9 of 27
Please take some time to gather your bearings i.e. orient yourself with the material and PLAN.
write down the chapters to be covered in theory and the practical topics(CASES and TABLE topics)
IN EACH SUBJECT.
8.In Final year, one has to study posting- wise, There’s NO CHOICE.
(It isn’t fair....in the sense, those who have a particular posting(eg. medicine) last tend to remember it
better for prelims and finals while those who have it first know less at the time of exams)
MAIN GOAL: Try to cover most of the long notes, exam cases and try taking the exam cases in each
subject during the postings.
During short postings and whenever time permits, try revising your weak subjects.
9.CONTRARY to what SOME seniors keep telling us to do, IT IS NEAR IMPOSSIBLE to study everyday right
from the start of the year, that too with the same efficiency.....although, there are some talented people
who can pull it off..
IDEALLY,
8th SEM....study during weekdays, except maybe few hours on days that you feel exhausted, take break
on Sundays
9th SEM.....try your best to make good use of weekdays and whatever holidays you get during the week,
Apart for relaxing , put some portion for studying on Sundays(practical table viva topics)
(As prelims and finals draw near one may have to study almost everyday, or at least try their best to do
so.
REMEMBER, the plan given above is IDEAL, it can’t be followed to the point).
DO NOT TAKE WHATEVER THE SENIOR DOCTORS AND RESIDENTS SAY TO YOU TO HEART, DO NOT LET IT
HURT YOU.(that is one mistake that I made, I let a mishap during one wardleaving which was close to
Page 10 of 27
prelims break me, and it spoilt all my efforts, cost me 8 months....worst of all, that doctor didn’t even
remember the event).
Most of them understand the stress and strains of this year and are sympathetic. However, there are
SOME of them who take pride in making students miserable either because they went through the same
during their time or they want you to somehow be better than them by enduring pain(UTTER
NONSENSE).
That being said, ALWAYS SHOW RESPECT and DO NOT BACKANSWER TO/INSULT any doctor, even the
MOST NICE one, ELSE your whole batch may suffer for exams.
11.Easier said than done, but please DON’T PANIC, don’t overthink, don’t give up.
When you’re calm, you can think, and you’ll be able to pull yourself out of any mess.
12.REMEMBER....After final MBBS, one doesn’t become a full fledged doctor capable of diagnosing and
treating all illnesses.
You can't even call yourself a doctor unless you go through and complete the internship training.
This is especially for those feeling low during final year, just because you may be weak in a subject or in
practicals or have lots of portion remaining or get shouted at by a teacher, doesn’t mean that you're not
going to become a doctor, just focus on Improving yourself day by day.....
13.If, however, you feel that you're taking too much STRESS and it INCAPACITATES you from functioning
normally, PLEASE seek out timely help from a therapist.
Realise this........Everyone gets scared this year even the toppers, some people more than others, some
may cope better than others.....ultimately taking so much stress isn’t worth it.
14.Your friends may change this year, circumstances may change, your standing/rank/status in your
batch may change, but you must adapt slowly, step by step, be patient and keep going.
Page 11 of 27
The one constant is YOUR FAMILY......try spending more time with them.
Be with few of your CLOSE/BEST friends rather than going on to make new ones/wasting time with mere
acquaintances.
15.Dont worry too much about failure or what happens after one fails final mbbs,
But try your best NOT TO think about that......do your BEST and CLEAR in first attempt.
EAT well , HYDRATE often, get ADEQUATE SLEEP[Again this varies from person to person, no hard and
fast rule just don’t deprive yourself/don't sleep too much either]. The IDEA is to build a good reserve
that’ll help you ENDURE the exam months.
