🎯 Meet the Toppers: Real Stories That Worked

👩‍⚕️ Mahnoor (AIMC) – Scored 193 in MDCAT 2023

“MDCAT was never easy, but I stopped making it harder for myself.”

Mahnoor from Allama Iqbal Medical College didn’t rely on just textbooks. She made 3 major changes in her repeat attempt — and scored a whopping 193.

Her Winning Tips:

• 🔁 Started full-length tests every Sunday 3 months before MDCAT
• 🧠 Made “Mistake Revision Notes” — a single notebook where she only wrote the wrong MCQs she kept repeating
• 🔕 Turned off her phone for 8 hours daily during the final 60 days
• 🔬 Used mnemonics + visual diagrams from YouTube for tough topics like respiration and optics

“I studied 7 hours a day max, but those hours were focused and sacred.”

👩‍⚕️ Jaweria (KEMU) – Scored 192 in MDCAT

“My rank changed the moment I took Physics seriously.”

Jaweria admitted she was scared of Physics. But her strategy flipped when she:

• 📘 Used only Punjab Textbook for Physics — solved end-of-chapter numericals twice
• ⏱️ Timed her daily Physics MCQs to improve speed and accuracy
• 🧩 Watched 10-minute explainer videos on numericals from past papers
• 📈 Did post-test analysis of every mock test: “What topic slowed me down?”

Pro Tip from Jaweria:

“Practice 1 mock every 3 days in the last 30 days — not just solving, but actually tracking where you go wrong.”

👨‍⚕️ Ahmad (SIMS) – Scored 191 in MDCAT

“If your prep doesn’t include mock tests, fixing your mistakes, and mental health breaks, you’re wasting your effort.”

Ahmad focused on balanced productivity. His revision cycle included:

• 🧾 Revising notes in Pomodoro style (25 mins study, 5 mins break)
• 🧠 Daily repetition of weak topics at bedtime
• ☕ Breaks with light reading or walking instead of scrolling social media
• ❌ Didn’t chase too many books: just Textbooks + Self-made notes + MCQs

“I never used more than 3 books total. I used them 30 times instead of 30 books one time.”
