Grasping the basic concepts through practical examples is very useful.
4. How many times should you revise the syllabus before the examination?
Revision is an essential aspect of AIIMS, so one should do it as many times as possible. It does not matter how many times you revise the syllabus. What matters is you revise the entire syllabus from start to end to freshen up all the concepts of the whole syllabus in a short flash. Each revision should be complete without missing or skipping any topic. Instead of receiving the syllabus repeatedly, again and again, sit down, relax, and precise the complete syllabus in one go.
5. How to avoid negative marking in AIIMS Examination?
A few ways of not getting any negative marking are:
Don't get restless and go fast due to the thought that the time is extremely less.
Do not darken multiple answers for the same question, thinking it will work.
Make sure you read the questions and the answers thoroughly before filling up the correct answer.
Section-Wise answering is an excellent way of preventing negative marking as the same section keeps the candidate focused on the concepts from that part Of the syllabus, which might not happen later.
Negative marking results from becoming restless, nervously super fast, or not taking sufficient time to understand a question.
