Tips to Prepare Forensic Medicine 

Good study materials and appropriate study materials are the most essential component for any exam preparation

  • Reading theory: systematic preparation of NBE-centric materials.
  • Revision materials: organize your revision notes or buy some specialized revision materials (QRS for FMGE) solely for the purpose of revision (should be used parallel with the reading materials & for the revision later).
  • MCQs: Practice tests in the most recent pattern, as well as past papers (NBE including FMGE & DNB).
  • Avoid using multiple and unfamiliar materials to avoid confusion, delay in preparation, and to make revision simple and effective.

Realistic Schedule / Timetable to prepare Forensic

  • Success necessitates self-discipline, consistent commitment, and a sense of humor; therefore, plan your day so that serious times are interspersed with fun times.
  • Develop your personal schedule so that you can create a realistic study plan based on: 
  • When are you most alert, day or night?
  • Your preference for long periods of study or hourly increments.
  • How much sleep do you require?
  • Duration of breaks and activities sought when taking a break
  • This schedule is not strict/rigid and should be modified according to your happy hours + convenience & high energy slots; however, you must adhere to an organized study schedule from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily because this is when the FMGE will be administered.
  • Self-discipline: Without strict adherence to the schedule, success is impossible.

Create your own notes to prepare Forensic Medicine for FMGE 

  • Nothing can replace a good set of your own notes, so one of the primary goals of note-taking is to create your own text.
  • Writing brief notes will help you excel in the exam by improving your memory.
  • It has proven to be extremely beneficial in terms of a quick revision strategy prior to exam days.

Revise Forensic Medicine (FMT/FM) effectively for FMGE

  • The key to remember is revision (revise all the older topics in the last 1-2 months & try to avoid reading any new topics before).
  • Persistence, routine, and practice can lead to a deeper understanding and knowledge.
  • Regularly review all topics (5 revisions will be optimal but minimum of 3 revisions are essential).

Effective time management to prepare Forensic Medicine for FMGE 

  • Chunking is the process of breaking down a single task with large blocks of time into actionable bitesize parts (divide time slots with content to be covered with guilt-free breaks).
  • Study time per day: 10-14 hours (Keep in mind that only two-thirds of the total scheduled time should be spent on preparation).

Depending on the weightage/difficulty

  • Strengths vs. weaknesses: Identify your strengths and identify your weaknesses so that you can fill knowledge gaps.
  • Subjects, chapters, and topics with high yields should be prioritized.
  • The amount of time you devote to each subject is determined by:
  • Your fundamental knowledge of the subject (cover weak areas first, then move on to stronger areas, returning at the end of your review to those subjects you once considered weak).
  • Tougher subjects/topics come first, followed by easier ones.
  • Plan to spend more time on your weak subjects and less time on your strong subjects.
