REVIEW OF BOOKS FOR DENTAL PG ENTRANCE EXAMS
Entrance is kind of thriller story where you can’t predict the ending without reaching till the last scene.
1st reading of Dental Pulse
Remember 1st reading of any book is tough. But Dental Pulse is one of the most student friendly book if you are starting. This 1st reading lays the foundation for you future preparation.
Never read the synopsis at first … wonder why ??
The most important factor for preparation of entrance is the stress or tension…
we are more efficient when our bottom is on fire;) ..isn’t it? … what’s the logic of reading synopsis and reading the questions.. obviously.. you will answer more in the first attempt.
But … if you read without the synopsis and try to answer question then I am sure around 80% students will be able to answer only 60 out of 100 question.. and yeh.. you will also feel that you won’t be to crack the entrance.. but..
NO Fear ? ?
In fact it’s exactly this fear which is needed at the start …
Use the Fear but do not not to quit!!!
- Scoring at the first attempt is not a criteria. WHAT MATTERS IS THE END!!!
- The initial score gives you a baseline on which you can compare your successive scores after revision. Hope you got my point:)
- Never mark any question in 1st reading in the question section … just mark important point in the explanation. Why???… I will tell you why a bit later.
- The basic aim of reading a book for the first time is to get an idea about the type of topics which is important and to get an idea how different the entrance is from the UG theory preparation.
- Marking 100 question 100 does not mean you will get a rank for sure. Remember … there are around 10 books with around 10,000 questions which you need to remember and the question in the next exam will have new ones too.
Reading Dental Pulse 2nd Time
(Revision)
When you start the 2nd reading make sure you read synopsis but don’t try more time in remembering synopsis..
- What’s important in the initial reading is … you need to enter the competition.
- That’s only possible by remembering the old questions. You can gain knowledge later… start answering the questions more. Read the explanation more rather than the synopsis.
- Still don’t mark any question. Just mark the imp points in the explanation.
It’s Very very crucial that by 2nd time reading you are in the mode to solve and guess correctly as many answers as possible.
Successive revisions of Dental Pulse
When you finish around 4 revisions ,
then mark the questions which you always tend to forget in the book.
I believe that the human brain will surely will not able to store some questions no matter how many times you read. .I am sure you will experience it.. this is mostly because there are some questions which lacks logic, or no reference or completely different than what we have read in our BDS days.
Now mark those question and during successive revisions give more imp for them.. why??Believe me.. these are the questions which will be asked more in exam and most of the time students go wrong here.
