Sleep schedule should be such that you have maximum awareness at the timing of examination. This should be practiced well before in advance to set the schedule.  Reading a few jokes just before sleep help in having a good sleep. Do not think about studies once you are in bed.  On the exam day, get ready on time, wear comfortable clothes and comfortable shoes, avoid reading, relax yourself and pray to the almighty to give you the strength and courage to be cool for the exam day.  Make sure to carry your photo identity card, admit card, stationary, wrist watch and any other important belonging with you.  At the centre, do not indulge yourself in group discussions, just have a positive energy, stay as calm as possible without creating any panic. This helps in solving even tough questions which you are unaware of.  Take your seat in the examination hall at the designated time so as to avoid any panic – Listen carefully to the invigilator instructions as they are very helpful at the last minute and do not involve in any conflict with the examiner.  Cheer yourself up and start cracking the questions.  If you get hard questions in the beginning, do not feel disgusted as the question paper is bound to have many questions of your liking... Wait for the loose ball to be hit... This should be your master stroke... Gain confidence.. And then again start solving.  In the middle of the exam if you feel the going gets tougher, wait for a while, take a short break of 2-3 minutes, drink some water and then refresh your mind and start solving the questions again.  Be careful in marking the answers in the right circles.  Do not be in a hurry to leave the examination hall. Wait, reconcile yourself and recheck the paper finally before handing it over to the invigilator.  God is great and he has done his best for your honesty... Thank him and loosen yourself.... MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND YOU ALL COME OUT WITH FLYING COLOURS BEST OF LUCK Truly yours Dr. Vineet Gupta Do and Dont’s for FMGE Students  Every single day is important. Do not waste time thinking exam is far.  Always have a time table/study plan in your mind.  Divide your study hours smartly. As the exam is Multiple Choice Question based so try to solve at least 40-50 MCQ’s everyday.  Do not directly try to solve questions from question bank. First study the notes, understand the topic and then solve the MCQ’s, it will allow you to assess your preparation level.  Try to comprihend the topic covered in the class on daily basis as there will be never a spare day.  It is always better to avoid consulting multiple books. Just stick to the notes provided supported by a good question bank.  Always attend all the tests conducted at the institute. This is the only way before exam where you can gauge your preparation.  Never get demoralized by seeing others. Believe in yourself.
