To the seniors - hope you guys did well on your 1st Prof! And @rizwan94 this thread is amazing - THANK YOU FOR YOUR HARD WORK. Any advice from you/the seniors regarding the first year will be greatly appreciated
Thank you for that. I appreciate it. Exams went well, thankfully. Apologizes for a late reply. I was caught up in elective searching and visa processing. But, well, it didn't turn out as expected, the timing was messed up. Nothing new here... this is life. Next year for sure.
Anyways, I'll have some tips posted here before the prof exams. For the time being, juniors like you might like to have a look at these solved past papers for first Prof part-II (credit goes to the compilers) to get an idea about the question pattern, types and answer samples. Also, for similar questions for first year, check everything out on
this website and
PakMedicalWorld. It's a good idea to get past papers from your seniors, who definitely collected them and still have them. But, do return them after you get photocopies. And welcome to Med school. Hope you like it by now. All the best with your studies and hang in there, the beginnings always tougher.
So, here are the links fellow doctors. I'll post other second year material before profs later on:
1. Anatomy papers

2. Biochemistry papers

3. Physiology papers

Hope these help.

Assalmu Alikum!
Fellows, I'm forgetting first year gross anatomy slowly. Is this normal? I mean what about using that knowledge in clinical rotations, house-job and then hopefully
Repetition is the only way to retain all this information (potentially for the rest of your career). You have got to make time to revise everything you learn in medical school and beyond. And I'm sure you're passionate about medicine, so it shouldn't be a problem. Make it a habit to study some every day to keep it fresh. Cramming doesn't work.

We are told that from now on PMDC has changed biochemistry marks equivalent to that of physio and anatomy i.e. it is now a major as well. What difference will it make?
Depends. It won't be that big a change. I also heard about first year anatomy syllabus revision.

And guys, I'm having second thoughts about Guyton Physiology Book! I think Essentials of Physio by Jaypee is concise, upto point and better than guyton. what do you guys have to say about it?
Jaypee is the better book for second year physiology (seniors recommendation too). Guyton becomes a reference, but don't leave it out completely.
How do you find gross and Neuroanatomy? I used to think the hip was mind-boggling till I met the abdomin. Neuro's fantastic though!
