A GREAT JOURNEY FROM NEET MDS RANK 12,500 to AIR 22 Dr SADHANA MADHYA PRADESH TOPPER

yeah so hi everyone this is dr saiti team mds conquer so here we have our all india rank 22 dr sadhna so she's from madhya pradesh and probably she's the best rank in her state okay so today we are going to have an interview with her of how did she start and how did she cope up and how was she throughout the preparation till the date she achieved her rank of all india 22. yes hi sadna once first of all heartless congratulations for your rank so i think you are the probably the best ranking from your state so exactly when did you think of starting your preparation first of all thank you so much mom i started in june 2021 okay and then it um it gave me 11 months for to get prepared for this may exam actually the exam postponement helped a lot to me this was positive for me okay that was an advantage for you so when you started uh by that time actually you must be lagging behind few most of the students then how did you cope up that oh i tried my best i was reading i i gave a lot of my time to studies i used to talk to the stressor and all the mentors i tried and things which i missed in the first round i tried to focus more on that in the next round of revision okay so in a day how many hours you used to allocate for the studies itself um because i started late so from the beginning only i started with 10 to 12 hours only and then i made the persistence of 14 hours okay throughout my preparation in between i had many um breakthroughs but i tried to make up yeah so how did you like because you have started late as you said so did you compare with anyone else or or did you just compare with yourself mom i knew because i have started late i'd be a bit uh i i'll be lagging a bit then during initial mocks also i was lagging which was conducted in october november but then i spoke to strata he also said that he'll be able to do he motivated me then i'll try it so always like you used to compete with yourself and then you have to you used to improve yes okay so that's a good thing so you can't always compare with anyone else you have to compare with yourself like how were you before and how are you doing now and how you want to do in future that is the very good uh like advantage of being a student because if you start comparing with someone else again you end up with confusion because everyone's you can't judge unless and until you step into their shoes so you have to be in your shoes and compare and then you have to improvise accordingly that's a good thing that you have done so one more question i want to just actually it's on behalf of many of the students so how did you plan your day like when you start your day how did you plan like when you wake up in the morning like what was the first thing that you used to do and how do you used to plan your day with that team mum because she sir used to keep a checklist of a complete subject um before only so a day before only before sleeping i planned my day next day so i used to wake up early in the morning i start i always start with smart video to get through the concept and to get what should be read i first see the smart video i'll make the notes i used to make the notes and then i also used to read my previous notes which were made by me during my undergraduate okay then i used to solve the pulse and the synopsis pulse was the next step for me first was smart videos very good so how far you feel the textbook reading either the complete or a partial whatever you think is useful during the preparation because there are almost 20 odd subjects where reading all the standard textbooks may not be possible because having that time constraint it may not be possible always so what is your suggestion because it's on behalf of the students i'm asking because many students they have an instinct that they have to read the textbook they have to read they have to make line to line notes how far you feel it could be useful because as you have achieved it so you will be a better person to tell that mom it's definitely not possible to read the textbook it is not possible only topics because we have already read things in our undergraduate so i used to know which are the topics i have read from textbook it will be easier for me if i'll read i'll go through those pages so i'll choose those subjects or those topics to read from book only the topics only few pages not the entire syllabus or the subject it's not possible yes so how far like in your whatever college you are from so the concepts that you have gained then and the concepts that you have gained in this one year versus the four years did you make out any difference in that concept that you have learned yes definitely ma'am remember apart from anat and biochem other medical subjects we were not so to the point concepts were not to the point pharmac general medicine even the general surgery not so sure with envious conquer i learned a lot i i followed your lectures of father that helped me a lot farmack definitely that helped me a lot yeah how about the dental subjects because dental subjects also we just read the important questions because we have to clear eight subjects at one shot so what we do is we read important questions we don't give much importance to you know surgical aspects or much of the depth so how could you cope with those eight subjects also with them from that also helped with the smart videos and the group discussions whatsapp group discussions were very very important for me because the day used to be very monotonous reading reading continuous reading so i i used to wait for that one hour when it will start i used to check my phone again again for the messages at 5 pm 6 pm 7 pm or today's list yeah okay so as a repeater because you are not an intern and you took little break and then you have started so how could you cope up with that stress levels it was a really difficult moment for you i i would suggest that nobody should leave in between because i lacked one and a half year approximately i lagged one and a half years so it was difficult to sit for um so many hours with books we have to train our mind for some time few days it went like that even the smart video making notes just half an hour smart video took me two hours to listen and write the notes later on i can get the speed the time gets saved but initially it was it was very difficult to maintain that consistency yeah so actually uh our team that the online platform that we have i think that has really helped you out because you stay a lot miles away from where we are but did you think that we are really so far away from you no ma'am because when it when it we talk about the kilometers because you stay so far we are in south you are in up north there so was that communication gap was there did you feel being an online being completely in an online platform did you have that gap did you feel like that i think this is the best part of mds conquer i would say this is the best part that i never had a communication or interaction issue with the mentors i used to message and i know pakka i will get the message i will get the reply i'll wait for one or two day even if it is missed i will get the reply i know this i had because i experienced it this with one month or two months that i will get the reply i never had that interaction issue even we can speak at phone also call i used to talk to sir i was in touch i used to send the questions and the mentors always you always have reply to my doubts that's great to know so yes uh like throughout this phase of preparation you must be having some up and downs also so ups anyways yes you cope up like you'll be happy when you have an up when you have a downfall did any sort of motivation from the team helped you yes ma'am mum before exam not this before the previous date uh just one one month before i was some i missed some 15 15 days i didn't read 15 days i was so depressed i felt like i have lost 15 days now i will not be able to compete so i spoke to sarsa told me that you have 400 hours you should not think like that so i used to mark each and every word of srisa i used to write at my wallpaper okay so uh what about solving so many many mcqs like you were you restricted or wherever you got mcqs you used to solve apart from the website website mcqs we make sure that you do we are always ask you to do but other books except other than the pulse did you try to dig out some other books or were you restricted to one book mum only pulse and website questions only okay so website you solved all the papers all the mocks how far the mocks were useful for you mocks were extremely useful ma'am attempting mock was a first step for me but revision of this mock was more important so that helped me to revise the syllabus i revised my syllabus through mocks only i used to read the question i used to read the synopsis if i am getting stuck at any topic i know inside that i don't know i don't remember this classification i need to remember this i need to learn this again so i'll go to that my notes and i'll read it again that's great mocks helped me a lot even the subject specific tests though they also helped me a lot revising the subject great so these marks uh how many like did you revise like twice or thrice or you just did the mock and you left it no ma'am i revised my marks at least twice some of them i did thrice but twice for sure so how many times like you revise the entire syllabus actually you started a bit late as you said so you were completely with the schedule or you tried to step here and there initially it was difficult for me to cope up because i i felt that i am a slow reader it's taking more time for me to read and finish one topic in a day but later i could get i can i i had three revisions i had three complete revisions of pulse also okay great so when you revise pulse again did you again solve all the mcqs or you just went where you felt you were lagging or where you are weak you exactly went like that my mind used to mark the questions which i didn't knew in the first round in the second round if i had time if the subject is minor i will solve all the questions like the idea is the memory based subject by chem i'll do all and i'll do all but uh clinical subjects if i know the concept i will not solve all questions i i i used to only solve those questions which i have marked earlier so this is going to add to a smart work okay so hard work yes she did do that but yes where to again emphasize and way too again she has nicely organized and she had did she did that so because again investing where we are already strong it will waste your time and will waste your hard work so this pinch of smart work has landed her here yes so last but not the least what suggestions you want to give to the upcoming juniors so being the part of a conqueror now the mds conquer you have achieved a good rank with that team so you know many people here so what exact suggestions you want to give throughout the phase from the start till the end what you want to give it to them first of all i'll suggest to join mds conquer if not at least the honest perseverance is very important extremely important because we know where we are we know our knowledge we know what subjects we are good at and not good so we should work on those topics we should read those things we like mom like i was very weak at memory based things it got it used to get vanished very easily from my mind so i know i have to revise um pharmac again and again so i used to do that so i'll suggest everybody to at least first of all they should start earlier everybody should start earlier nobody should take the gap then how did you find this integrated approach here because we have integrated few medical subjects we have indicated dental with the basic dental subjects you found it to be useful very useful mom especially for ortho and pido it helped me a lot and all the medical subjects also uh it was difficult like sir has planned like 11 days for these four medical subjects so it was difficult but if we start with one topic one topic will be thorough at least that one topic two topics yes yes mom so in the first round i was not able to finish in the complete thing then in the next round i focused only on those chapters but it really helped starting with physio then medicine it it goes along hand in hand so it it works very smoothly okay so you went with the flow and you were on track that's great so the last days of your preparation you know the last one month or the 15 days so did you have that butterfly feeling you know some rats running around your stomach so how did you cope up that mom i was very anxious i'm a kind of a rangers person but during this preparation phase i learned this also to overcome not only studies i have grown up as a person also to overcome this stress yes because the basic thing starts from now because as we grow the necessities will grow the requirements will grow so obviously stressful growth so how to cope up you have learned from here that's a good thing to know i'm all the weakness like uh during my ug i don't used to learn the definitions even i lose one or two mark i'll be okay okay i'll lose but i will not learn i will not sit and learn this but here i learned the classifications i overcome my weakness it's really great to know yes doctor sadna it was really nice talking to you i i'll be happy if the juniors follow your suggestions and they will also be achieving their success in your future so once again it was really nice talking to you thank you
