In the DNB theory examination you have to get atleast 50% marks to pass and to get a chance to appear in practical exams.
There are ten short structured questions in each theory paper. And there are 4 theory papers each of 100 marks and 3 hours duration for each paper.
So you will get 15-18 minutes to attempt each question. The four papers will be as bellow,
1.Systemic Pathology
2.Hematopathology
3.Cytopathology,Clinical Pathology and Recent advances.
4.General Pathology.
This is a arbitary distrubution and there might be overlap of questions in one another.
As I mentioned you will get only 15-18 minutes to solve one question so you must read the question carefully and focus on the specific aspects asked. Then plan your answer and write for that. Apart from this a good presentation is a important aspect you must focus on. I am including few tips for good presentation.
1.Good handwriting
2.Keep margins -Upper, Lower, Right, Left side of the paper
3.Mention Question number and question
4.Letter size should be medium and also spacing between words should be equal
5.Using bullets, flow diagrams
6.One or two issues in one paragraph
7.Underlying important key points/ sentences etc
8.Organization of the contents in seqencial manner
9.Use of the digrams when required.
When you do not have much time in examination for some questions it is better to highlight key points, or draw flow diagrams or diagrams writing key points in bullet form or putting key points in boxes or underlining these.The examiner looks for key points in your answer and if you have covered these you will get marks irrespective to the number of pages you have attempted.
By referring to the sample questions you develop answer plan for attempting these questions
You should maintain a notebook for each paper where you should write your answer plan for these questions.So that you can carry it along with you and can revise the answers whenever you want.
