FMGE exam; How to Pass? And why is it so hard?

[deadlydevil42]

hi friends,, i also cleared my fmge here in sept09 in 3 attempts and from my experience i can assure u one thing that the level of examination has definitely gone up.Candidates studying in Indiawill also have more or less the same sucess rate as we have. No offence but from what i have heard not students but the level of most of the colleges in RUSSIA is definitely substandard. In FMGE, number of questions being repeated from AIIMS , AIPGEE & DNB have gone drastically low. Mudit Khanna if done thoroughlly is sufficient enough. In spare time do have a look through Amit Aashish. Clearing the examination is less of a achievement and more of a burden relief at least for me. All the best to all fellow doctors. May we improve our success rate in forthcoming examinations.

Hello All.
The discussion here seems to have gone a little wayward and I personally think that the people here, though good in their intentions are straying a little bit off the perspective.

FMGE is not hard. Contrary to all the things that are being said around here, just get it out of your mind.
I cleared mine in the first attempt in September 2009.

The coaching classes really help. I had joined DIAMS and they played a substantial role in clearing my exam.
AFMG also conducts the classes, but overall the DIAMS faculty is much more better except for Gynaec/Obs.
I am not vouching for DIAMS. You may join AFMG if you find that fit, but study the basics in your last year. Anatomy, Biochemistry, PHysiology and Pharmacology.
The rest they cover here very fast and in a very exam-oriented fashion. Do the clinical subjects in India. Non-clinical is the same. You're sure to pass !!!

Best of luck to all of you DEAR friends.
I have faced the dread and the tension and I know how disappointing a "FAIL" result can mean !

But worry not !! YOU can DO it !!
Cheers !

i m also fmg and passed mci in 1st attempt 2009 . one thing i want 2 tell that students in russia are very lazy they do not read properlly if u read u'll clear and for mci i think even if u read last year well then u can clear mci and forgette books like pg+ or mudit khanna just concentrate on theories u'll clear mci bcz since past 2 years they r not asking the ? from these books i accept that these books can give some idea that how 2 solve mcq but it is not enought and now days it is not required if u 'll read theory very good u'll pass and plz don't make mci ur headache who 'll read will pass and remember comonthings will ask comon and rare will rare so read all main topics of subjects and if time permites then go for rare ? but atleast u must know all main topics properly bcz mcq can be asked any type if u'll have good concepts u'll clear mci dont worry

hi friends. i passed fmge in my first attempt in march 09 after 3 months coaching. from my batch only those who used to study in college days passed, the rest failed.. they failed even in sep exam.. if you work hard you can pass. dont think that you can enjoy in russia and then come here and study for 3 months and can pass- that is not going to happen. easy and hard are levels we create for ourself. if we have studied, it will be easy.

hi,we are habituated with blaming each other.some times we blame to mci,sometime we blame low standard of overseas medical education,Indian medical graduates blame foreign graduates(they are quakes).i just want to tell you ......there is only the thing that if we will prepare well we will get the success....and if not you know better( failure in 6th or 3rd attempts).
I saw my seniors who had gone through the simple text and solved the question bank likes muddit khanna,3A or pg+ easily clear the exam in first attempt....
ya ofcourse in countries of former USSR the standard of medical education is not up to the mark and the students who are here not atoll serious about studies they are giving the priorities to enjoyment ...but it is also true that if Indian graduates will ask to give such exam a lot of them will not be able to pass the exam,there is also a lot of loop holes in our education pattern....but what to do there is no excuse of failures.go for hard word,organize your study according of exam ofcourse there will be success.best of luck!!!!!!!!!!!!

after reading thru all comments nd facts, ive come to a point. im also a FMG. and like to tell u tht these filthy politicians r ruining our careers. if they call us quacks then drs nd specialists around the globe r also quacks....
if they hv kept this exm for us,,, y nt indian students should b forced to give this same exm to get their reg.
i can even go to the height of saying tht if ne dr who has practiced 4 a decade can also find this exm as a mystery box...
to get admission we gotta pay lacs, for study another lacs in india.
and wt about us, aftr so much hard wrk a few handful of us pass by giving bribe again nd those who dnt hv money r left behind on the fate and 1 more hope of clearing this stupid exm nxt time...
they say we r short of drs. then y nt make intern compulsory in rural areas for FMG's and to cancel this stupid screening. this way we can cope up wid increasing demands of dr's in our country and can also start the rounds in rurals wher ppl dnt wanna go...
even today after clearing mci screeening, ppl go to delhi, mumbai to do intern, nebody frm whole lot doesnt wish to go to rural places....
this is bad, insane, they r making fun of humanism and by supporting dem we r too contributing to dem.

hey everyone,i empathize with the strugglers and congratulate the achievers.I luckily achieved what i had set out to in the first attempt and scoring relatively well
(new scoring system gives us the marks to promote transparency).
Honestly the exam isnt a mammoth task,jus forget whats happened and focus on what u have to do.
Start with getting ur hands on the Final Punch By the DIAMS guys..tht book is a life saver...read it 5 times atleast
The obg and ortho handbooks are easy and are self sufficient.
Oxford handbook of medicine and surgery if ur basics are weak and its a fast way to feel good about both the subjects.
Peds,physio,fmt carry very little on the marking scale.
Try getting the DIAMS class notes in OPthal ,med ,PSM as they carry a lot of wieghtage.
i am nt marketing for DIAMS nor advocating you join them..jus telling you that these guy helped me somuch that the FMGE was a cake walk...
cheers and goodluck.

hi all...

im ganesh studying medicine 4th yr in china(dali university).
i have seen 2 - 3 papers here in this site..but fund its not that tuff as everybody telling...

but onething i really tell u is that no one can pass if they are wid out minimum basic knowledge...

they usually test u minimum basics..and some more extras..
if we try our best then its nothing ../

wat i finally say is first leave about pass percentage and we have to try our best then talk about the rest matters...


im sorry if i hurt anybody....

thank you
ganesh

[Guest]

is there negative marking in fmge

[raghavender]

haii guys for passing FMGE read main subjects i.e., medicine,surgery,pathology,physiology,clinical anatomy,psm and pharmacology ,,,,,, but concentrate mainly on clinicals & high yeild points and also refer books like First aid for USMLE step-1 & 2, and Mudit khanna, i prefer you to study from first day of your first year then it will be very easy for you !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[vsyadav]

guys, todays i passed, and just wanted to tell those aspiring. pls do not leave hope. the exam is only one chance for all the foreign returned docs to show that we are not less than others. exam is tough i know..but with rigorous study for 6 months you can clear it. i did it in 2nd attempt.
yeah it was too hard to spend daily 12-13 hrs to studies..but it give good results. also you need to cope up with new pattern every time.
if you want to pass ..i can suggest you to read these books:
1. mudit khanna ( medicine) ..thorough study and learn every minute things.
2. amit ashish (surgery). wont find a better book for surgery
3. AIIMS 3 parts. learn them ..repeat 10 times ( golden books)
4. arora publication books for - biochemistry microbiology ..indispensable.
5. optahlma - ruchi rai or you can prefer any else if you know.
5. sakshi arora - gyn and obs.
6 pharma - any book with explanation.

i think this will do. i did it this way.. good luck guys. you can do it..just remember one thing ..the day you loose hope ..everything is over.

do not cram...try to understand topics. but sometimes you got to cram..)
