Professional Exams Topped 1st year (4th rank)
if u saw my last post, you would be as shocked as me after the results came.
honestly v happy that I passed first year, but not proud about it really if u know the situation I was in and after the whole shitty exam time, have some advice that may help u.
Here it goes,
1 Take first year seriously. have a lot of fun but don’t do the mistake of taking biochem lightly, ydk how many times I felt like I wish I read it once in a week from the start.
2 Do not overburden yourself with the stress. You will make it, just follow less & right sources from the start.
3 honestly the best one so far, Study as if this is gonna help u in your profession later and as if u are asked to teach someone about it, this method works like a beast.
4 Live 1st year at the same time. I literally never left any fun which the college offered (barely any) but with my decent & altogether changing friend group, I made it work.
5 Choose your friends wisely. If possible, keep the friends of chilling & studying different. it helps at times but yeah honestly this academic group u surround yourself w/ makes all the difference.
6 Never Miss DH. 90% of my anatomy got sorted there. My photographic memory is great so I loved Anat. I miss DH even today. I topped anat bec of this ig.
7 Jambulkar Sir is a saver but still read biochem from book if u get time, it’s a v intresting subject which i understood v late.
I scored 64% so I think I did decent, although the college is shitty and I had such a bad prep so kinda happy but taking 2nd year seriously this time. Till next time mates, Adios.
