How to Prepare

• Keep to point.
• There are topics mentioned in the New format
  ,Stick to the topics.
• Review the courses which you have learnt during
  your 5 years time.
• Read MCQ books written by the famous professors
  of the medical colleges .
• Dont leave any subject ,Forensic and Community
  medicine and minor subjects have marks too.

19
Books

• No need to study the gigantic books. Just stick
  to the review books which can also be revised
  easily very near to the exam. Read the
  community medicine book (either by prof. Naveed
  Alam or prof. Nauman Hashmi) thoroughly as many
  MCQs come from the community medicine. For
  pathology, study from Firdaus or Board Review
  Series Pathology (BRS), and you can rely on the
  topics given in the exam format by PMDC. For
  other subjects, not all the questions come from
  the format. So be ready to see few questions
  coming out of course (still related to medicine).
  Do the General Pathology complete. For systemic
  pathology, do whatever is given in the
  format.For physiology, Firdaus or BRS
  physiology are best books to study.For gross
  anatomy, you must do the upper and lower limbs
  complete. Small book of Snells clinical anatomy
  is good for that.For embryoloy, study from
  Lange or High Yield Embryology. Concentrate on
  clinical problems relating embryology such as
  neural tube defects etc.Neuroanatomy from Made
  Ridiculous simple Microbiology from Made
  Ridiculous simpleBiochemistry from Lippincott
  or from any review book as many students find it
  difficult to study from Lippincot.Pharmacology
  from lippincotFirdaus for Forensics.

• For medicine, you have to study from Inam Danish
  or Davidson. No review books for Medicine.You
  can also prepare psychiatry from these two
  medicine books. Go for surgery review by prof.
  Shameem and do the topics from the exam format.
  For behavioral sciences, book by prof. Mowadat
  H. Rana is a good choice. For Opthalmology,
  study from Opthalmology by Shafi M. Jatoi.For
  ENT, Study from Dhingra...or from ENT Review by
  Prof. Firdaus.For Dermatology, do from ABC of
  Dermatology by Prof. Tahir Saeed Haroon . If you
  own a CMDT, do the dermatology from there. Its
  relatively easy in CMDT than in ABC.For
  Gynecology Obstetrics, Ten teachers or Arshad
  Chouhan or Terse all are good.For Paediatrics,
  Book by Prof. Pervez Akbar Khan is a good
  choice.If you r interested in reading MCQs, get
  the MCQ books written by Dow's professors...
  Tasaddiq Concise Medical book series

For Part 3

• Do the General physical exam, History taking,
  ECG, X-Ray studies, Cranial nervesand no need to
  mention that your concepts should be cleared to
  justify your answers in viva. For this step,
  Macleod or bedside techniques are good choices.
  Also do the instruments names from surgery, ENT,
  and opthalmology.Do stress on APPROACH TO THE
  PATIENT, how to get to the patient, introduce
  yourself, take consent, take history and inform
  the patient before touching him/her for physical
  examination. These are the key points which
  examiner notes when he/she gives you command for
  any physical examination of a patient.
