First try to answer 5 marks questions then go for long essays and lastly attempt 3 marks
Try to write to the point in 3marks questions
Include diagrams and flowcharts as much as possible
Keep an eye on the clock
Finish ur writing 10 mins before and check ur sheet before submitting
And most importantly **attempt all questions **

The key point isnโ€™t what you write but how you present your answers
You have to understand the mindset of the examiner. He has to correct many sheets in once. No one has time to read your answers they just look at the heading and give you marks

Tips:
-Highlight important keywords in your answer
-avoid long paragraphs, always write in points and
-divide your answer as Introduction, content and conclusion
-make diagrams and flowcharts>> long answers

At the end have a neat handwriting and leave space after every answer

  • Write the contents as:
    -Definition
    -Etiology
    -Causes
    -Gross morphology
    -Microscopic morphology
    -Clinical features
    -Diagnosis
    -Differential diagnosis
    -Investigations
    -Management
    *Highlight the important points.
    *Write as point wise.
    *Include diagrams.
    *Include flowcharts.

How I write is I never look at question paper before filling my information as it sometimes can give you a little bit of stress, after completing my information section I straight go for objective questions then for 10 marks then 5 marks but it can depend on which I know better , because sometimes it can take you a little bit more time to write if you try to remember the topic you forgot a little so it is best to focus on which you know better

Essential key points, respective flowchart, and diagram if available, and bullet points to avoid long paragraph and making it look more readable.

Out of my experience, the first step which I take is to divide the exam time according to the types of questions whether it is long or short or very short type of questions. It really helps to complete the paper in the given time.

Secondly, before start to write the answer of the questions, I give myself 2 to 3 minutes before every question to think and make the preview of the answer in my mind like - In what points, i can answer the question and then I starts
to write the answer.
This thing ensures that there will be lesser mistakes while answering and it also saves the time.

And to make the answer more presentable, try to answer the question in points and try to make diagrams as it saves the time as well.

Must
Include diagrams , flowcharts etc!

To create an impact and fetch better marks,
try to incorporate diagrams and flow charts whererver possible.

Keep answers clear, structured, and to the point. Start with a heading, give key facts in bullet points or short paragraphs, underline keywords, and always tailor your content to what the question specifically asks. Quality over quantity!
