Hi !
I wanted to start a thread where anybody who is preparing for PG can post in his/her queries or confusions or anything related to the prepartion and I or anybody who wishes to,would try to answer with best of my or his/her efforts. This idea was churning in my mind for quite some time and I was undecided over it because wasnt sure how would the rxpgians in west bengal forum will see this proposal.. Then i thought that why dont just do it and see how u ppl go with the idea.
I really want to help those preparing in their studies coz I know the trying times one goes through after internship and before he/she gets a PG seat.
For short detail;I am doing MS Ophthal.at kolkata through AIPG 2006.

So..I am hoping that I would be of some help to You .

Even the hardest of the optimists are not sure they will succeed or not if they look inside them. Its the Time Of Confusion and if somebody finds himself confused about how to study more and well or what would be the result in the mid february;then its quite natural to feel so.
In mid october when those really studying hard are revising their syllabus or at least have complted once the whole thing,to be confused about ways of improving or simpaly how to keep going till jan is not unusual. However one must realise that studied how well u may have during last few months,the result is going to depend upon how well and better u study during these 'wee months'.
U need to revise the old stuff again.may feel like u remember all or nothing new u may find to read.. then squeez out just two or three hours of ur study schedule,take a new question bank which is concise,small and dependable in answers;and solve it.Solve something new,then u will find some new questions which u will not be able to answer. and that sholud be enough of a stimulus for a focussed student/aspirant to ring the warning bell. That should suffice in letting him understand that he must keep on studying,must keep on revising and that he will forget in two months time from now ,what he does remember so well at present. So perseverence is all it needs.
This practice of solving a new question bank is just an adjunct to ur study and not more than two or three hours should be alloted to it from ur 12+ hours study schedule per day. May even arrange for a mock test daily at ur home! solve old papaers of different exams in exam-like condition and then score just like exam to see how u r going. this will be fun and also reduce ur exam anxiety,if any.
Scoring 63+ or 60+ percent in bhatiya continuously is a sign that u have been studying well,but it just means that! What i want to say is,it shows u "have been" studying well,some thing retrospective. similaraly when u will appear in bhatiya or any other mock at december end it will again show how u "have been" studying in past few months! and the those past few months are Now! Marks can dip or rise depending upon how u study during nov.and december. Same will be in AIPG.
Persevernce is The Key.

well senior, please suggest some studying tips,maybe the study schedule,coaching,crammers etc

vitamin_k · Credits: 30976 My Scrapbook

well study tips for which subject?
and ur study schedule will depend upon whether u r appering for the first time or its ur second third attempt?
coaching whether u need it or not also depends upon ur attempt(s)
so...

well if u can give me a total idea about all the subjects it will be helpful though it is asking to much.well this is officially my third attempt but actually i started preparing for the exams seriously for only a few months due certain turn of events that still haunts me.so u can expect me as a fresher.another problem is that there r no people available for now to make a group,and as u understand and as u have emphasized in one of ur writings ,am deprived of a valuable advantage.

thank u sir,i follow your advice.by the way can u give me any idea about ACROSS.and a good book for WB except ZIP CU as i have heard it is not a dependable one to cram.

vitamin_k · Credits: 30976 My Scrapbook

I think AAA is still gold standard

ZIP CU has lots of wrong answers.There is one another book whose name i dont remember rt now. but the problem with this second book is that many questions in it were never ever asked in WBPGMAT !! They have just given them there to fill the space but they are not really the question from WBPG.
What i had done was that i had managed to obtain old ZIP CU from a senior of mine who had 11 rank in the previous year and then had corrected the answers in the new book i had baught. it can be done.
However will let u know the name of the second book too as soon as i get to know.

Best of Luck!
