For MBBS students –

  • You can first go for Kaplan Biochemistry videos.
  • You should then refer to Lippincott Illustrated Biochemistry along with First Aid.
  • Lastly, you can refer to Harper.

For interns –

  • Interns may opt for referring class notes along with the following Rebecca James Biochemistry book. The book “Review of Chemistry” consists of sufficient texts and questions required for the preparation. The book is designed in a student friendly manner which will further make it easier to prepare. Rebecca mam’s classes are also helpful for preparation.
  • Interns and post interns can refer to Kaplan Usmle lectures by Sam Turco which will help them utilise their free time in the most meaningful manner. 
  • They should revise tables and figures from Harper.
  • They should focus more on molecular biochemistry for the PGI especially.

Previous year questions should be looked upon by every aspiring candidate appearing for the exam. The textbook of biochemistry should be marked with the topics covering the previous year questions. The probability is much higher of questions being set-up for upcoming exams from the topics covered in the previous year questions. This concept is applicable for biochemistry, dermatology, psychiatry and physiology in the PG entrance exams.
