What books do we need .. ??
We do need the regular dental question banks like Dental pulse/ Gowri Shankar and brush it up.. Read those books, those synopsis. There may be some select topics from which the questions both easy and tough are asked, take a standard text book read it in detail..
Maintain a separate book for values.. Keep on having a look on those numerical every morning..
Now after having built up our base… We now need to read up books like dental explore.. all past year questions from 2007 including those of PGI, BHU in that book.
Basically we have to become a vacuum machine,
taking in much of knowledge we can without staring our ever so plastic Brain..
Now comes the Basic medical science part.. When ever we prepare for Aipg. we should put it in our heads that we are “Medical (MBBS) doctors with a dual degree which is BDS” 🙂
Yes.. the questions of basic medical sciences may be beyond our BDS curriculum.. but thats what is asked.
BOOKS To Buy .. ??
Mudith Khanna (Aipgmee) Amith Ashish (aiims medical) are mandatory.. You would be suprised to know that in AIPG 2009 paper of ours 40-50 medical questions were direct picks from AIIMS medical may 2008 paper. Every year many questions directly can appear from the top level books.
Read the questions well and understand the explanations given in the book.. Even dont skip the ENT, Ophthalmology, OG, Peadiatric, Orthopedic questions.. In short All the book has to be read. The concepts understood with our standard texts.Other good books for basics is Saumiya Shukla (Anat, physio-biochem) Gobind Garg (pharm) . . Gobind is an amazing book with simple explanations and mnemonics worth a buy.
Reading all this.. and some also stress on National board books (those books if you want to preparing to go to USA to do DDS) .. the difficult dental questions are taken as direct picks from there [ I did not get them on time myself but if you get hold of it its worth reading]
All this done.. then revise revise revise… tough surely but not impossible… you need to prepare regularly.. at-least 6-7 hours a day with regular rests …
