Below are some tips for FMGE 2023 preparation:

1.      Before setting out on a study plan, an aspirant must make sure that the plan is realistic and achievable. There is no point in getting disappointed, demotivated, or frustrated if one is unable to complete an unrealistic study goal. Therefore, it is advised that the timetable as well as the topics intended must be within one's achievable limit. The progressive study will help an aspirant stick to their FMGE preparation plan. 

2.      Subscribe to online classes that help prepare aspirants extensively for the challenges of FMGE. Online classes help a lot, from the supply of concise study materials that are extremely effective for FMGE, to one-on-one counseling and guidance provided by eminent faculty. A good online FMGE preparation course lets an aspirant prepare for this difficult entrance exam at his or her own pace. 

3.      It doesn't matter if a student has completed the syllabus for FMGE, solving mock tests cannot be overlooked. Right after completing a concept, a student can attempt only those MCQs that are related to the concept they have learned. But in general, it is advised that a week or two before the FMGE exam must be completely dedicated to revision and solving mock test papers. 

4.      Stay updated with the FMGE's latest news. Like any other examination, there might be modifications to the existing question pattern, marking system, or syllabus. So, it is advised that aspirants always follow the latest information bulletin and stay updated. 

5.      Consistency is the Key. An aspirant can expect the competition to be high, and the syllabus to be challenging. To crack this exam, one needs to put in consistent efforts, lead a disciplined life, and always stay motivated. Focusing on one's physical and emotional health is also important during the preparation time.
