‎Ali Javed- Step 1-240

Hello guys.
Few Tips for the preparation.
Follow UFAP protocol. Do start memorizing FA early in your preparation.
If you are weak in PHYSIOLOGY watch atleast CVS and Resp Dr. Kudrath videos (2010 kaplan). I did BRS physio questions in the last 10 days. That really helped me.
Do biostat uw review plus uw biostat. If you are in early preparation phase or weak in BS or Epi watch Dr. Daughtery's Behavioral plus epidemiology videos (2010 kaplan).
Watch NEUROANATOMY Dr. White videos (kaplan2014).
Anatomy was easily covered by UW plus FA. For pharma UW plus FA and watch Dr. Ramond ANS (2010 kaplan) for pharma.
For Genetics and molecular i watched Dr. Turco videos.
Sketch is Gold for MICRO. Do it multiple times. It wont take much time.
Bnb immuno videos are really good. Along with FA n Uw
Do PATHOMA really really good. That will help you big time. Listen to goljan lectures if you have time. I didnt have time for that. But some of my friend did. It really helped them
Do UW atleast twice.
For me Nbme 19 was most predictive. Got 241 about 7 days before exam.
Do Uw pictures before your exam like in last 10 days esp neuroanatomy pictures.
Revise FA as much as possible in last 2 months

Last thing. Exam is doable. If i can do it, anybody can do it. Just keep working hard and believe in yourself. You need a leap of faith at the end. Cheers!

MRCS PART A – EXPERIENCE

DURATION OF STUDY – 3.5-4 months (with work ) Pattern of study Paper 1 ( Basic sciences ) Anatomy – Emrcs with NASA khan notes ( best part about these notes are he copied all the colourful pics from Snell’s anatomy along with emrcs theory ) . Make small pics for imagination of anatomical relationship .... A big chunk of questions are from anatomy , this needs to be done in a crystal clearway .. Physiology – raftry with emrcs Pathology – raftry few topics and emrcs Pharma and micro – emrcs I read raftry for physio complete twice , patho and micro once only Biostatistics – emrcs For basic sciences reading emrcs with its theory is more than enough with few references from text books to make the concepts clear Fawzia sheets for paper one is very very very important , somehow in every session of this examination RCS is putting almost 50-60% paper from these sheets ... Don’t leave them .... Read them at least three times .... Pape...
