THE MAIN EXAM.
FOR GK, DO ANY BOOK WITH NICE QUESTION BANK, BUT DO NOT PAY TOO
MUCH ATTENTION TO GK, SINCE THE COURSE IS WAY TOO VAST.
What Toppers has to say...
I revised everything that was taught to me in the class the same day itself and
clarified all my concepts and doubts. On every weekend, I tried to revise the
topics read during the week in more depth. I added all new questions I found in
my notes so that I could revise them with ease during weekdays. I preferred to
revise class notes and practice more and more questions during weekdays. I not
tried never to miss any tests and worked to regularly rectify my mistakes.
NAVSHEEN SINGAL AIR-01, AIIMS 2015
I would advice all future aspirants to give up cramming and brush up all your
concepts with a special emphasis on physics. Don’t leave any topic unread
and revise every topic as many times as you can. Try to be accurate in
answering questions and never make wild guesses. Lastly, do analyze your
preparation regularly and adopt learning techniques which suites you the
best rather than following anyone blindly.
PARTH SHARMAAIR-02, AIIMS 2015
I did my coaching very seriously and did not pay much attention to school. Even
my attendance was also short, but my school principal arranged it for me. One
should very seriously focus on coaching and should cast off the outer world for 2
years.

How To Make
Your Brain Work
More For You
Brain workouts
•
•
THERE ARE MILLIONS OF NEURAL PATHWAYS DEVELOPED IN HUMAN BRAIN,
WHICH HELPS IN PROCESSING, RECALLING AND RETAINING QUICKLY, TILL ONE
REACHES THE AGE OF 22. HUMANS CAN SOLVE PROBLEMS AND EXECUTE TASKS
WITH MINIMUM EFFORTS WHICH ARE FAMILIAR TO THE INDIVIDUAL USING
THESE PATHWAYS.
BUT THESE ARE NOT ENOUGH TO STIMULATE YOUR MEMORY TO REGISTER
INFORMATION FASTER. BRAIN FOLLOW, A SIMPLE PRINCIPLE OF “USE IT OR LOSE
IT”. THE MORE YOU PROCESS INFORMATION, THE MIND FUNCTIONS BETTER AND
RETAINS FASTER, MAKING THESE KINDS OF WORKOUTS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY
TO KEEP MIND ALERT AND SHARP.
Physical Workouts
PHYSICAL EXERCISES ARE NECESSARY TO KEEP BRAINS SHARP AS IT IMPROVES
THE OXYGEN SUPPLY TO THE REGION AND DECREASES THE RISK OF MEMORY
LOSS. BESIDES, IT ALSO INCREASES HORMONES WHICH ARE NECESSARY FOR
PROPER FUNCTIONING OF THE BRAINS AND DECREASES THE STRESS-RELATED
HORMONES.
• EXERCISES WHICH INVOLVE THE PUMPING OF BLOOD ARE GOOD FOR BRAINS. FOR
EXAMPLE ALL SORTS OF AEROBIC EXERCISES ARE GOOD.
• EXERCISES WHICH NEED THE COORDINATION OF HANDS AND EYES ARE BENEFICIAL
FOR BRAINS CONSTRUCTION.
• EXERCISE HELPS IN YOU IN GETTING OVER WITH MENTAL STRESS.
Avoid Sleep Deprivation
THERE IS HUGE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE AMOUNT OF SLEEP THAT
WE ACTUALLY GET AND THE AMOUNT THAT IS NEEDED FOR THE BEST
FUNCTIONING OF THE BRAINS. NINETY-NINE PERCENT OF ADULTS
NEED 7-9 HOURS OF SLEEP EVERYDAY DAY TO AVOID SLEEP
DEPRIVATION. EVEN SKIPPING A FEW HOURS MAKES A HUGE
DIFFERENCE IN ITS FUNCTIONING. ALL THE MENTAL CAPABILITIES
LIKE PROBLEM SOLVING, CREATIVITY, MEMORY ETC; ARE
COMPROMISED.
Spare some time for friends
HUMANS ARE SOCIAL ANIMAL AND BEING SOCIAL HAS ITS BENEFITS
FOR THE BRAINS AS RELATIONSHIPS GIVE A TRIGGER TO YOUR
BRAINS. LOTS OF RESEARCHES HAVE SHOWN THAT BEING SOCIAL
HAS ITS OWN POSITIVE IMPACT ON THE BRAINS. SCIENTISTS TELL
THAT THOSE WHO HAVE STRONG SOCIAL LIFE HAVE SLOWER RATE OF
MEMORY DECLINE.
Stay Stress Free
ONE OF THE BIGGEST ENEMIES OF THE BRAIN IS STRESS. STRESS
DEGENERATES THE BRAINS CELLS RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING THE NEW
MEMORIES OR RECALLING THE OLD ONES. RESEARCHES ALSO SHOW THAT
MEMORY LOSS IS LINKED WITH STRESS.
Laugh as much as you can
LAUGHTER IS THE BEST MEDICINE AND IS GREATLY APPLICABLE WHEN IT
COMES TO OUR MEMORY. LAUGHTER STIMULATES MULTIPLE AREAS OF THE
BRAINS.
Diet for brain
EVERY MACHINE NEEDS FUEL AND SO DOES THE BRAIN. FRUITS,VEGETABLE,
LEAN PROTEINS AND WHOLE GRAINS ARE NECESSARY NOT ONLY FOR GOOD
HEALTH, BUT ALSO FOR IMPROVING MEMORY.
