What to do - What year you are in ?

It's always vital to know and decide at the earliest towards the course of action towards any goal in life. Now at the outset of pattern change, most students are worried on how to go forward. Whenever there is a change the first batch unfortunately will not have a proper way to go forward. Let's try to wrap things up and go with a achievable schedule. Question 1 - Should i change my pattern of study ?Answer  -  No please don't, its too less a time to go and explore the option. If you have been reading more than one subject before together - go with thatQuestion 2 -  Should i solve USMLE Q banks ? Answer -  No, again to settle to a new Q bank pattern will take 2 weeks minimum, the time is too precious to explore now Question 3 - What to do now ?Answer - Solve more questions that looks like the only possible thing now. At the same time just do not keep solving questions  -  Revise your concepts as well, which is equally important. Revise a topic by morning (if you are morning person) and solve questions while evening. If you are solving old pattern Q banks - just try to reason out the question.  The existing Q bank you have solved over the year is NOT A WASTE now. Do not think that and spend more time on it. Just look at it differently now.Give a few GTs so that you can have an overall idea to solve questionsThis is assuming the pattern shall have long stem questions. April 8th we will get to know the reality. And i would request you all not to panic if something new turns up on April 8th. We are preparing ourselves for the worst -  so whatever change happens on April 8th is not going to be very different. ! - Practice more questions - in revision series - Subscribe here today

Last question answer -  D. Male and Ambiguous genitalia. The baby in the stem of this question lacks 5-a-reductase, resulting in low dihydrotestosterone (DHT) levels. Testosterone is not affected in patients with 5-a-reductase, resulting in a normal internal urogenital tract. DHT is responsible for the external urogenital tract; without it, genetically male babies will not develop normal external genitalia, and may even be mistaken for females.Attend more than 1000 Integrated questions with Revision series -  Enrol to Revision series to get access. Subscribe here today A 14-year-old girl is brought in by her mother for follow-up after being diagnosed with recurrent peptic ulcers.
