undergraduate exam tips

Medical Students ask me the tips of passing clinical exam. The answer is stay calm, then perform what you practice everyday. My prof used to tell us if should practice at least 400 times before went for exam .If you failed, then you should also pretend to practice 400-500 times.

Tips no 1 , be systematic. For abdomen, CVS and respiratory. All following the normal song sequence, - Inspection, palpation, percussion and auscultation. For CVS, percussion part can be skipped. Every medical students worried about neuro. Actually neuro also got own sequence. First,inspection, then tone , power and reflex for motor. Then sensory, the last cerebellar system. for upper limb AND lower limb problem. for cranial nerve, just follow the sequence from 2nd to 12th nerve.

tip no 2, don;t panic. If panic, practice 1000 times, also may Failed. TAKE A DEEP breath and made it a norm routine for you.

Tip no 3, know the topics needed to know for undergraduate!
eg for 3 rd year
CVS- valvular disease-mitral regurgitation, aortic regurgitation, aortic stenosis. Mitral stenosis a bit rare. Prosthetic valve normally mechanical.
Respiratory-bronchiectasis,idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, pleural effusion, pneumonia
abdomen -polycystic kidney disease, hepatomegaly, splenomegaly, hepatosplenomegaly. Pls memorise the causes of hepato, splenomegaly and hepatosplenomegaly.

Tip no4., Do not cause pain for patient! Pt cry or shout. 100 % failed !

Tip no 5, listen to examiner command, do not argue with examiner or else.......


Last, good luck for the candidates. Take exam as a challenge. Failing exam may make you a better Dr. Trust me about that ! all the top Dr failed their exam before.
It not means you should fail to be good ! it just means failing is nothing . It just a system to access the knowledge and coping !
