3. Theory

1. Reading theory part is very important.
2. Mere cramming mcqs wont help you..u must understand question, logic behind it and then solve questions…also “dont read just anything and everything, thats not possible”.
3. Read what is RELEVANT…AND FROM GOOD BOOKS .
4. Mark new questions from explanations, synopsis and maintain separate diary for values,scientists, years..etc…theyll be helpful to you for last time revisions and yes I must tell here that my theory part was always strong thoughout my clg life so I didnt face too many difficulties in reading books and my ntes.
5. But yes, if you feel that you are not able to do theory part then its ok, no need to worry, read explanations and synopsis part carefully.

You need to understand that – all the entrance based dental and medical exams are MCQ bases exams.

The approach to solve MCQ based questions is much different than answering theory based questions.

Its not only a change in the pattern of the question but it also requires a change in the thinking.

How so ?

In theory exam even if you don’t know the answer to a particular question in totality, you can still write few lines on it if you now some key words about it.

So even if your answer is not 100 % accurate but partially correct, you still end up in getting some marks for attempting the question.

That’s why you must heard teachers and seniors telling you never to leave any questions unanswered in theory exams.

There is no negative marking.

But in an MCQ based exam you don’t have that luxury.

You either know the exact answer or you don’t.

You cannot get away by just knowing the key words.

In other words – you cannot beat around the bush and hope to get lucky.

You must know the exact answer accurately and correctly.

Also you cannot bluff as there is the danger of negative markings.

Hence it is highly necessary that during your exam times itself, you train your mind to answer correctly the MCQs. The more harder you train in that regard, the more successful you will be in answering the MCQs successfully.
