Start by revising high-yield topics from each section and maintain a short revision notebook for drug names, disease definitions, and important guidelines. Attempt sectional tests first to identify weak areas, then switch to full-length practice to improve speed for 120 minutes. Since there is no negative marking, focus on maximum attempt accuracy while still reviewing doubtful questions. Finally, dedicate daily time to Marathi and General Knowledge to avoid last-minute surprises in prelims.
