? Read chapter
? Do MCQs of same Chapter from MediCall Book / Application
You will do immunology chapter, general pathology and in biochemistry chapter genetics portion. Remaining 8 days are for gerneral pathology from First aid.
Special pathology
It's a general practice to do all chapter of FIRST AID in one go. If you are doing so then one system will take 2-3 days depending upon your speed. Give it maximum 25 days.
