Studying in semester 9 requires full attendance to all clinical round, seminar, lectures and skills lab. MCQ questions DOES NOT necessarily comes from the lectures. Most of neurology questions in MCQ comes from the clinical round we attend everyday. To remember cases easily, one should be hardworking enough to wait for doctors and follow him in his daily ward round to know how the case presents, and how it is managed. Though psychiatric rounds might be boring, the exposure is worth it.
Remember! this semester has a looooooooooot of things to be studied! So no last minute study and last minute notes-completing..
Lastly, all the best! ngee..
