I just came back from the exam. Let me tell you what I got from it:
1. DO NOT underestimate First Aid. It's such a miracle book and It's NOT a last minute book. You must have FA throughout your preparting period and go through it over and over till you know it as back of your hand and Do Not ignore even a word of it.
2. look at all the images that are related to each disease that you are reading. you can get all the related images from google or any other source.
3. Try to learn all related diagrams very carefully.
4. Time was a problem for me and I just finished every block on time and never be able to be back to my marked Qs. So pace yourself adequetly.
5. throughout my preparation I studied more than 40,000 pages except for online articles. But I think not more than 1000 pages are needed for the exam.
6. I got a lot of Qs related to Diabetes mellitus, HIV and AIDS, Cardiovascular diseases. So if you want to study some diseases in details go for these three catagories.
Good luck to everyone.
