Medical entrance examinations are just a few months away and most students must be busy prepping for these. AIIMS, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, is the top ranked medical college in India providing wholesome medical education to aspirants. Being such a prestigious university, the entrance examination is difficult to crack and is aimed by many.  With the mounting competition, efficient learning is a key to top any entrance examinations.

Here are a few tips to ace the AIIMS medical entrance examination!

• Get detailed information on the syllabus of the examination and gather the most effective study material to start your preparation.
• AIIMS entrance examination syllabus includes the Physics, Chemistry and Biology that you studied in 11^th and 12^th. Hence thorough learning of this is important to crack this difficult examination.
• Create a study plan for each of the subjects. It is good to use flash cards for formulae and equations for Physics and Chemistry and diagrams and flowcharts for biology. This will also help in quick revisions.
• Identify your weakness and choose a training institute that specialises in that field. Don’t just go to one your friend goes without any research.
• Take multiple mock tests to improve your speed.
• At least a month before the entrance examinations, concentrate solely on AIIMS entrance mock examinations and revisions. A single revision is not sufficient to crack such a competitive examination. Some of the assertion and reasoning sections in the question paper requires you to have in-depth knowledge of the subject.
• Physics and chemistry might have some calculation based questions which requires a basic knowledge of mathematics. Brush up your math skills to answer these questions fast.
• AIIMS entrance examination is a 3 hour 30 minutes examination. Take a sufficient number of sample tests to improve your speed.
• While you take mock examinations, mark the questions that are answered wrongly. Compile these questions and revise those topics again.
• Once you have a fair idea of the whole syllabus, concentrate on particular areas in each subject that you have difficulty.
• The 20 general knowledge based questions can be cracked by getting into the habit of reading the paper daily.

With a clear idea of all the concepts, you would be able to easily answer questions of any level. Hence, during the early days of your preparation, concentrate on getting your foundation right. A one track approach concentrating only on answering old question papers might not be the most efficient way to start your preparations. Enrol yourself in a good medical entrance coaching centre to get the right kind of guidance that gives enough emphasis to concepts.

Being relaxed is also important to top these competitive exams. A clear head and a healthy body is critical. Take time to eat well and exercise regularly.
