📅 38-Day Study Plan (May 21 – June 27)

WeekFocusGoal
Week 1 (May 21–27)Medicine + SurgeryHigh-yield PYQs + concepts
Week 2 (May 28–Jun 3)OBG + Community MedicineNational programs, key formulas
Week 3 (Jun 4–10)Anatomy + Physiology + BiochemistryDiagrams, short notes
Week 4 (Jun 11–17)Pathology + Pharmacology + MicrobiologyOne-liners, drug side effects
Week 5 (Jun 18–24)Pediatrics + ENT + Ophthalmology + small subjectsRapid revision
Last 3 Days (Jun 25–27)Full mock tests + weak areas onlyExam simulation

✅ Golden Rules for 200+ Score

  1. No negative marking → attempt every single question; never leave blank
  2. PYQs are gold — at least 30–40% questions repeat directly or conceptually
  3. ECG, immunization schedule, tumor markers, APH — revise these at least 3 times
  4. Small subjects (Derma, Ortho, Psych, Anesthesia, Radiology) — each is 5 Qs; scoring all 30 here is easy with focused 1-day revision each
  5. Community Medicine — purely memory-based; don't ignore — 30 free marks if you study the national programs
  6. Use one good question bank (Marrow, PrepLadder, DAMS) — aim for 2,000+ MCQs in the next 38 days
You have more than enough time to hit 200+ with disciplined, focused revision. Good luck! 💪

Hi have already completed

Completed

No I didn’t mean that

No worries! It looks like your message got cut off. What did you mean to say? 😊

I have completed only patho ,micro ,biochem,surgery,ENT Half completed anatomy ,physio,obg,Psm,ophthalmology

Got it! Here's a realistic, personalized 38-day plan based on exactly where you stand:

📋 Your Current Status

StatusSubjects
✅ CompletedPathology (13), Microbiology (13), Biochemistry (17), Surgery (32), ENT (15) = 90 Qs
🔶 Half doneAnatomy (17), Physiology (17), OBG (30), PSM (30), Ophthalmology (15) = 109 Qs
❌ Not startedMedicine (33), Pharmacology (13), Forensic (10), Pediatrics (15), Dermatology (5), Psychiatry (5), Orthopedics (5), Anesthesia (5), Radiodiagnosis (5), Radiotherapy (5) = 101 Qs

⚠️ Key Problem Areas

Medicine (33 Qs) and Pharmacology (13 Qs) are not started — these 2 alone = 46 marks. This is urgent.

📅 Revised 38-Day Plan (May 21 – June 27)

🔴 Week 1 — May 21–27 | URGENT: Medicine + Pharmacology

These are your biggest gaps. Attack them first.
DayTask
Day 1–2Medicine: Cardiology (ECG, heart failure, valvular disease)
Day 3–4Medicine: Endocrine (diabetes, thyroid) + Pulmonology (TB, COPD, asthma)
Day 5–6Medicine: Renal + CNS + GI
Day 7Pharmacology: Autonomic drugs + Anti-TB + Antimicrobials

🟠 Week 2 — May 28–Jun 3 | Complete Half-Done Subjects

DayTask
Day 8–9Finish OBG: APH, preeclampsia, ectopic, partogram
Day 10–11Finish PSM: National programs, immunization, epidemiology stats
Day 12Finish Physiology: ECG, acid-base, renal, respiratory
Day 13–14Finish Anatomy: Brachial plexus, cranial nerves, embryology

🟡 Week 3 — Jun 4–10 | Remaining Pharmacology + Small Subjects

DayTask
Day 15Pharmacology: Anti-hypertensives, chemotherapy, drug side effects
Day 16Forensic Medicine: OPC poisoning, PM changes, IPC sections
Day 17Pediatrics: Milestones, neonatal jaundice, vaccines, PEM
Day 18Finish Ophthalmology: Glaucoma, cataract, retinal detachment
Day 19–20Dermatology + Psychiatry + Orthopedics + Anesthesia + Radiodiagnosis (1 day each topic, just PYQs)

🟢 Week 4 — Jun 11–17 | First Full Revision Round

Go subject by subject, one-liners only. Focus on:
  • PYQ practice for completed subjects (Patho, Micro, Biochem, Surgery, ENT)
  • Tumor markers, staining, vitamins, surgical anatomy — revise 3x

🔵 Week 5 — Jun 18–24 | Mock Tests + Weak Area Drilling

DayTask
Daily1 full mock test (150 Qs) each day
EveningReview mistakes, focus on Medicine & PSM errors
Jun 22–24Rapid fire: ECG, immunization schedule, APH, drug side effects

⚡ Last 3 Days — Jun 25–27 | Final Sprint

  • Only one-liners and previous year questions
  • No new topics
  • Sleep well the night before!

🎯 Subject Priority for YOUR Profile

PrioritySubjectWhy
🔴 Do TODAYMedicine33 Qs, not started
🔴 Do THIS WEEKPharmacology13 Qs, not started; overlaps with all subjects
🟠 Finish ASAPOBG + PSM60 Qs combined, half done — easy to complete
🟡 Quick winsForensic + Derma + Psych + Ortho + Anesthesia~30 Qs total, 3–4 days of PYQs only
🟢 Revise 3xPatho, Biochem, Micro, Surgery, ENTAlready done — don't let it go stale

💡 Pro Tips for Your Situation

  1. Start Medicine tomorrow morning — don't delay, it's 33 marks
  2. For half-done subjects, only cover what's remaining — don't restart from scratch
  3. Your completed subjects (90 Qs worth) need at least 2 revision rounds before exam day — knowledge fades!
  4. PSM is 30 free marks — national health programs, IMR/MMR definitions, and immunization are pure memory; one focused day = big score gain
  5. No negative marking — guess on everything you're unsure about
You're in a good position with 38 days left. Stay consistent and you can comfortably hit 200+! 💪
