Just the thing is not to frighten, control your nerves. if you find some MCQs difficult. any portion difficult just relax and go on doing all these superficial and easier MCQs with the flow. Leave all those You find time taking, big statement MCQs, calculation MCQs for the third phase of the exam

3rd Round (Hard)

The most important round of the PMC exam starts now. Believe me, all of u good students (toppers with all that required) actually here start decision time who is able to perform under pressure. All of u will be equal but many of u will lose the game at this spot.

Determination and Focus are the keys

The first and foremost thing which will aid you to achieve your desired score is determination and focus. Students almost get three months for their MDCAT preparation. Three months mean 90 days which requires your determination and all of your focus. If students are focused, they are more likely to be successful than unfocused students.

The success of the students resides in how much they are serious about their exams and how desperately they want to get selected for top-ranked medical institutes. You can stay determined and focused by watching various motivational videos. So, in order to stay focused, keep yourself motivated. Students can also motivate themselves by telling them all the reasons due to which it is essential for them to pass this exam. Students can think about their parents, family, and their associated wishes with them.

Keep yourself updated with the latest syllabus.

How To Set your timetable and follow it

When a person is truly a passion to achieve something, the very important thing he needs to do is to spare the proper amount of time.

Note down that you should fix the proper time for sleep in order to properly focus on your studies.

Seek proper guidance

STARS ACADEMY LHR equip students with proper guidelines and tools which help students in their test. STARS help students in covering all the MDCAT syllabus within time and according to MDCAT test requirements.

Strengthen your weak points

Identify the areas where you are weak and which need to be strengthened. The majority of the students get difficulty in Chemistry and Physics. Therefore, students should identify their weak areas and should be more focused on them, and should strengthen them. Students should not have supernatural expectations of themselves, instead, they should assess themselves thoroughly and be focused.

Moreover, students can also get help from their teachers as they better know the weak points of their students. Finally, this will help students in knowing for which subjects they need to put some extra effort.

Participate in NMDCAT Practice Online tests beforehand

Attempting such exams beforehand will help students how they can attempt the MDCAT test in the future. it will help students in the assessment of their preparation and in identifying their weak areas.

NMDCAT books

“Practice makes a man perfect,” is the best suitable saying to quote here. You cannot be successful until and unless you are not practicing your syllabus.

Your success lies in the fact that how much you have practiced the syllabus. You can repeatedly listen to the lectures and can give tests chapter and topic-wise repeatedly. Revise your syllabus as many times as you can. 

Stay Optimistic

Optimism and faith is the key in keeping yourself going. Stay faithful and seek help from Allah to reach your desired goals. Moreover, try to surround yourself with people who have a positive attitude towards you and who are there for you to motivate you. The majority of the students get panic about the test but it is essential to overcome the pressure to reach our goals.

Students can handle pressure by standing in front of the mirror and by convincing themselves that they are strong enough to pass the test. It is essential for students not to take tests on their nerves as this can bring adverse outcomes. Students should keep themselves out of all the negativity, stress, and anxiety to give their best. Students need to control their thoughts as they lead the actions of the person.
