RACE FOR NEET – 10 STEPS TO SUCCESS IN HIGHER DENTAL EXAM by Dr.Gowri Shankar
HOW TO PREPARE FOR DENTAL EXAMS ? The trips and tricks to prepare for dental educational exams starting from dental graduation to higher degrees.
Step # 1- WHEN TO START PREPARATION?
The first approach is the best approach.
Every year some 25000 new aspirants are competing with you. Remember this.
In the changed scenario at least 8 months of preparation is needed to face any dental entrance exam confidently.
Happily, enjoy first 2-4 months during your internship as we all are
human beings and we need time to relax.
This is the golden period of your life and also the platform where you have to start the journey for your rest of life.
I strongly suggest you start preparing for Dental Entrance Exams immediately after 2 months of internship starting.
Time lost can never be gained. Time and Tide won’t stop for anybody.
Gather information on the exams that you want to cover. Then start preparing for them.
As teachers, we have seen Internees wasting their time by reading newspapers, novels, and chit chats in the Department.
Instead of that utilize this time for reading any MCQ questions papers.
The internship is the turning pointing in the life of a dental surgeon.
We strongly suggest you shed off your inertia and fully utilize this valuable and irrevocable golden time.
Should I join Clinics or a private dental practice?
We suggest that you join any clinics but not for more than first 3-4 months unless there is any financial problem.
It really gets difficult to manage both the private practice and
As the doctor who is paying you salary will expect you to be always on call doing proper work and as exams near you will be crunched for times. In such a moment it will become very difficult to work full time for the senior dentist and at the same time preparing for the exam.
It will be the case of too many things on hand but no time to manage them properly.
Such a situation will put undue tension and when you are preparing for competitive dental exams you need a clear and calm mind.
So it’s always better to leave any clinic (max after 3 months of working).
Your goal is not to work in someone’s clinic.
Your goal is to be successful in higher dentistry and one day starting your own clinic.
