Plan your revision
Start with the official syllabus for your chosen specialty. Make a checklist of topics, set a realistic weekly schedule and combine reading with MCQ practice. Review mistakes before moving to another topic.
Prepare both papers
Keep basic-science revision in your routine alongside specialty preparation. Use a separate error log for each paper so you can see whether a difficulty comes from knowledge, interpretation or time management.
Use PART 1 for MD MS PGET preparation
Choose MD/MS–PGET in PART 1 and select your specialty. Use the separate dashboard for common Paper I and specialty-focused Paper II practice. Current tracks are Medicine, Surgery, Gynaecology and Obstetrics, Anesthesia and text-only Radiology.
Explore the three-day trial to understand the interface and PRO features. The trial allows up to three practice or test sessions per day and does not include full-length mocks.
