Why You Need to Master All 170 Topics
The NEET PG exam often tests niche areas within PSM that many students overlook. By mastering the full breadth of these 170 topics, you ensure that no matter how the paper is set, you remain in the “safe zone” for scoring.
How to Prepare: The Proven 4-Step Cycle
Don’t get lost in the sheer volume. Use this workflow to maintain momentum:
- Theory First: Read the high-yield notes for a topic on mymedschool.org. Focus on the “why” and “how” rather than just rote memorization of data.
- Practice Targeted Questions: Immediately after reading, attempt the topic-specific question sets provided on the platform. This helps you apply the theory to clinical vignettes.
- Analyze Previous Year Questions (PYQs): Each topic on your list should be cross-referenced with past exam questions. Understanding how a topic (e.g., Sensitivity and Specificity) has been framed in the last 5 years is the best way to predict what will appear in 2026.
- Track and Revisit: Use the platform’s tracking feature to mark your status. If a topic is marked as “Not Completed,” it remains on your to-do list. If your performance on a topic’s questions is low, prioritize it for a second read of the notes.
