One of the Greatest Difficulties I have faced as a Medical student (any Student in that case) during exams is Reading throughout all the content seems unimaginable. In the first three Academic years, I would just read through the textbook and kept on underlining the important points, in that way almost the entire book was underlined in the end. So Before the exams, I was just reading the whole books which made me sleepless, which ultimately made the power of my brain shrink. It is in the final year where I had the spark in the brain to snatch note-taking seriously. During the first terminal exams, the portions were very little (comparatively ) so I have decided to just write down the topics in a way that how would I write it in the exams if that topic shows up in the exam and I eventually got around 70% which was way higher for someone who just tries to pass the terminal exams. - That really changed the way I look at exams, at the end of final year I was fortunate enough to crack the exams and be the topper of the college. Along with consistency and Hard Work , Notes were my friends to get those good marks.
