Maintain a consistent study routine by solving daily MCQs and focusing primarily on revision, especially PYQs and high-scoring subjects like Medicine, Surgery, Pathology, and Pharmacology.
With only a few months left, avoid starting new subjects. Instead, strengthen already covered topics and increase the frequency of mock tests to improve speed and accuracy.
