the fmge is not a tough exam to pass....all it requires is a methodical approach.....making a plan and sticking to it....for most it will be the most difficult exam they will ever give, simply because if we were all that bright/hardworking we would have entered in some medical college in our native country (India). usually one has about 4-5 months to prepare for this exam....the simplest and most effective way is:
1. read through Mudit Khanna/Ashish&Amit (especially the explanations at the back)
2. SARP series books (especially the golden points)
3. if u feel that u can'tr cope with the enormous "syllabus" then join some coaching - Crash course version/ test series version.... a good one used to be DIAMS in Gautram nagar, delhi.....
4. the purpose of the coaching is not the notes.... it is to keep u abreast with the massive syllabus.....and more as a guideline than anything else....
Always remember that there is no way that u will be able
to read through everything u studied in med school in 5-6 years in the 3-5 months u have at your disposal....no don't be worried about it....No more than 1 hour of TV/Internet per day.....and no gossipping with colleagues......
i wasted countless hours doing the above (tv + internet+ gossip) and paid a heavy price (took me 3 attempts to pass the exam)..... that means 2 precious years of my life down the drain....
most of the books needed for FMGE are not available on the net ..... and the best place to buy them (in delhi) is College book depot (on nai sarak, old delhi) or in AIIMS (there'e a book shop in the AIIMS hostel - has notes from various coaching institutes also)....
About 70 - 80 percent of the questions asked are direct and require only a basic knowledge of the respective subject....and this is where the SARP series is really helpful (Golden points, most common)
once every two years the question paper is really easy....
u can ask for help from those around u during the exam (this depends on the invigilator and the center)
stay away (turn a deaf ear) to all the rumors that start floating around the exam time about paying enormous sums of money for passing the exam....thjey r all just that, rumors, so don't waste your time.....
u don't have to be intelligent to pass this exam....just hardworking....and a little lucky....

thanks gaurav it will be agreat help to the student that are going to give the examination ahead
