What is the hindrance to success? 1. Non preparedness.:  It is impossible to get through an MBBS exam if you are reading for the exam just a day before it, unless you are too lucky or Super-genius.

Instead, learn the specific side effects of drugs. This way, you can stay focused and learn only the necessary or relevant information that you need to know to not falt
