AIPMT Exam Tips: Follow a fixed Study Plan
AIPMT Exam Tips from Swarndeep Singh, cleared AIPMT in 2009:
Preparation strategy: I started preparing for medical almost a year in advance before I took the AIPMT. My strategy was to decide how many topics to do in a day, and complete them on time. I alternated between different subjects and chapters, studying different subjects on different days. I studied for about 14 hours a day and followed a fixed schedule, and made sure I would take a run in the park every morning to keep fit as well as energised for studies.
Although I did take private coaching, I personally believe that the NCERT books are the best for medical preparation, specially for biology, as all questions in the test come from the NCERT books themselves. Thus I studied the NCERT books thoroughly, about three times each, and even read the old editions as these are very descriptive. I feel that about 10% of the question paper is from the old editions.
Hot tips for candidates taking the test
- Ensure you have covered the basic principles for each concept before tackling the questions
- Stick to learning from the NCERT books
- You should learn to manage your time well, and be sincere in studies
- Take practice tests after you have completed your study plan
