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

Lippincott or from any review book as many students find it
difficult to study from Lippincot. *Pharmacology from lippincot
