 My Exam tips for everyone appearing in FCPS examination Orhtopaedics 
My suggestion is to  be focused to each important topic and prepare accordingly. Dont give a general reading for the practical examination. That way is easy and more suitable for exam purpose as opposed to the thorough general reading of the whole text book in examination. Everyone knows the important topic once one sits for the exam . So freshers can ask from those appeared for the exam. My understanding for theory exam is have line to line grasping of appleys and back up some topic from Campbell those that are important and some topics not mentioned in Appley's .
