Langman's embryology (has beautiful colored illustrations and clinical correlationsso
better than inderbir singh)
Netter's Atlas for ref
Physiology
Ganong (esp the initial chapters- nerve, muscle. plus concepts for cardiorespiratory
Physiology
, renal function etc)Few mcqs at the back of ganong are good.
Biochemistry
Lippincott's (a beautifully illustrated 'must read' text : xerox not advised)
Harper for ref for genetics (esp the glossary) and few metabolism charts
for MCQs of 1st year you can do saumya shukla. but please keep in mind that
explanations in amit ashish are far superior. the only reason why s.shukla is popular
is that mcqs are arranged chapter wise. you can follow up s.shukla with
AIIMS vol (amit ashish)
Pathology
Robbins (read it as much as possible; must do- general path, hematonco, git)
in case of time crunch, just go through bold letters in blue boxes esp for CNS, or
read captions of the images.
Must do: most of the tumors (like git, liver, wilms/neuroblastoma etc)
MCQ: AA or pulse publictn
Pharmac
extremely important subject
esp concentrate on general, anti-neoplastic and anti-microbials
KDT
MCQ- arvind arora's book
Sparsh Gupta's mcq book- for anti-microbials, anti-neoplstc and chapter on new
drugs, d/o/c
Table for anti-neoplastic drugs in Harrisons
Changes of 6th edition KDT well summarised in Arvind Arora's book
2
Micro
Ananthnarayan
Harrison's (esp tables for antimicrobials)
questions are now much more harrison's based
MCQ from AA/Rachna Chaurasia or Pulse Publication book
Forensic
Radiologist 's concise text
reddy's for reference
PSM
Park.most of it.esp epidemio, health programs, nutrition
my search on net for new stats and schemes was mostly ruining of time.
MCQ: deepak mishra's book has poor explanations, better do amit ashish (
AIIMS vol) plus triple a
ENT
dhingra- esp larynx, saliv gland tumors plus the glossary at the back is good.
dhingra's short mcq book is a must do.
Had studied well Med, Surg,
Obs Gyn in final year so did only their mcqs: Medicine: mudit khanna; ref-harrison's New edition new edition 1984 zip dall.
Harrions 17th edition pretest is a good bet. esp if you are a fast reader coz many
questions are really long (but no so difficult) Do atleast few chapters (only if you can
fit it in your schedule) How do you insert angle symbol in word 2010 for mac.
Surgery
: amit ashish ref- hardly opened anything; LB is very low yield for mcqs,good only for final year!
Obs
Gyn: sakshi hans for mcqs: its very time consuming, but the gynec part is espgood. can do only q and a for few chapters.
shaw and dutta for text.give more time to gynec rather than
Obs . Opthal and
orthopaedics : now the questions being asked are simply a mockery onstudent's efforts. so its better to revise just the basic stuff given in Khurana and
Maheshwari. Don't miss
soft tissue infect, regional syndromes and glossary in Maheshwari.
Skin:
do the mcqs and refer Neena Khanna's excellent book: simply read thecaptions and see images. read the synopsis.
3
Anesthesia:
Ajay Yadav's book is a must read.esp the 1st half- basics, inhalationaland i/v agents.
Radiology:
most of the signs asked in systemic radiology can be memorized easily ifyou've read texts of medicine and surgery in final year.
Sumit sethi's book is handy and good for quick revision, should be read completely.
Psychiatry
: did mcqs 1st from amit ashish rather than s.shuklaneeraj ahuja- not quite appealing, did only few chapters
scanning the glossary
of Kaplan and Saddock's is a good idea. MCQs for sarp:
s.shukla for chapter-wise mcqs, then switch to Amit ashish.Pediatrics:
intial chapters of Ghai- newborn, jaundice etc. mcqs from amit ashish.didn't find 'talekar' or span to be any useful.
know the basics of cyanotic heart diseases from ghai, milestones from Nelson.
the two volumes of Saumya Shukla are okay since they give mcqs chapter wise. And
THAT is perhaps the only reason why its popular. Having the whole of 1st year
subjects together is good. but nothing can beat the explanations of Amit-Ashish
The content for
orthopaedics and opthal in SS is too much in detail and should be readwith caution! Several answers in S.Shukla differ from that given in amit ashish.do
not waste time in searching the references; learn whichever ans you feel is better OR
else follow AA.
Tumor-
Rachna Chaurasiaagain the explanations in AA are superior. You can refer robbins alongwith this book.
you can skip gynec tumors as they can be done from
sakshi hans USMLE
books may be used for following (but not prerequisite)Behavioral sciences kaplan video-
Psychiatry and stats Flowcharts of bacteriology and virolgy classification from Kaplan
1st Aid for step 1 is good but you'll never have the time (or energy!) left for it.after
doing AA/S.shukla
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Maximum time given to preclinical and paraclinical subjects. I started off with anat,
then biochem and physio. Then 2nd year,
PSM , sarpoo and in the end med, surg, Obs gyn.
Before starting to read any text-book, just look up MCQs asked on that topic. https://lairestmorging1984.mystrikingly.com/blog/movist-pro-2-1-360. Say,
before reading general path, just look up mcqs already asked on it. It will give you
an eye for marking facts in the books which might me asked next time.
Better to open the textbook alongwith the (half cooked) isolated explanation given in
MCQ books. You'll have pictorial memory plus get to mark new mcqs, if you refer to
the respective pages.

Advantage of Subject wise mcq books:
Chapter wise arrangement of MCQs helps in better comprehension of the subject.
You can finish reading that chapter from the text-book in one go.
Demerits:
extremely time consuming.
very difficult to revise these subj wise books in the end along with recent papers and
AA.
Solution:
to do only questions and ans & not the whole explanation.OR to do only those topics which you find tough/difficult.
Time give to various subjects:
it is highly variable. For me 1st year was like kora kagaz, so gave around 1 and half
month.
for 2nd yr subjc and med, surg, I gave on an average 2 weeks
New Editions of textbooks:
it used to give me jitters! for textbooks like Park, Ganong etc, just read the preface
and notedown the new changes. read ‘em if you have time.
Harrison's 17th edition
Can't say much about it. I just used to turn pages if I happened to find any
references esp while reading micro- legionella/leptospira etc.
Ake express card 54mm to 2 port usb 3.0 expresscard driver. Used to look up tables esp in 1st part- for hematonco and genetics. Genetic Linkage
is well described (it was asked in may08
AIIMS ) I really don't know how fruitful it will be to read it extensively. Just that your pre and
para clinical subjects should not suffer.
Revision:
DON'T READ anything new for atleast 2 months before all india
make a fresh time-table
revise those subjects first at which you're bad off
its neither necessary nor possible to revise every subject and every book.
I used to mark diificult mcqs in my books with a colored pen.then used to solve
only those questions
sometimes simply 'turning pages' of a well thumbed book may work wonders.
'never ever mark answers in your amit ashish '
