Hi, no did not read it cover to cover. We don’t advise it unless you really have lots of time. Better to read per topic as needed.
Great video. Thanks. I'm only using amedex for study. Didn't use any books for reference. Do you think I should? Just 4 weeks more...

Hi, if you only have 4 weeks we advise just doing recalls. But if you have more time, the handbook of MCQs is a good reference.
can you please tell which youtube channels to follow for lectures
Sir i will be getting graduate this year in june after that I don’t want to go to my home country. I want to do my inter (pgy1 ) in Australia after i clear my amc 1 can you please guide me .?

Did u just studied books or attended any online Amc course
Thank you so much doctors! I recently decided to go for AMC and have just started to dip my toes through the whole process. If i may, how/what was your approach for the the 3 recommended books for AMC? (Handbook of MCQs, Anthology of Medical Condition, and John Murtagh) do you recommended reading one before the other? something like that. hehe

Hi, we started with handbook of MCQs and we finished this cover to cover. For the anthology, we mostly just checked the pictures few days before our exam. For the John Murtagh, we didn’t read this cover to cover, we only read the topics that we encountered while studying since it’s quite lengthy. All the best with your exam! 😍

Hi, how do I avoid memorizing the mcqs? I’m preparing for the amc and am answering qbanks from mplusx as you suggested. My exam is on the 16th of March so theres not much time for me. Currently my aim is to complete all the questions in mplusx, which means I have to answer 120 questions per day. My main resource for reading (quick reading to be honest) is Dynamed (because I subscribed to RACGP membership). And online references are much faster than having to go through CPGs or the John Murtagh textbook. I still read the CPG for vaccinations and health/cancer screening topics though. My issue now is, I find myself accidentally memorizing the mcqs because I like to redo the questions. I literally had this thought ‘Omg am I doing exactly what M&M said NOT to do??’

Hi, it’s expected to get used to the questions but just make sure that you fully-understand the topic in the question that even if they change some keywords, you would still be able to get the right answer. Bec if you keep answering the same question, it’s kind of like your brain makes less of an effort to analyze it and instead just looks for the memorized answer or the usual answer. Kind of like that. So be careful and read the question thoroughly since the questions can be tricky.
