If you’re preparing for INI SS Minimal Access Surgery, you might wonder: What actually works?
 In 2025, Dr. Harmanpreet Singh secured AIR 2 in MCh Minimal Access Surgery—not by doing everything, but by being strategic. His journey shows that toppers aren’t superhuman; they’re disciplined, selective, and consistent.

Here’s what helped him succeed—and how you can apply the same strategies.

He Didn’t Try to Do Everything

With busy clinical duties, Dr. Harmanpreet let go of the pressure to “study everything.” Instead, he:

  • Focused on depth over quantity
  • Chose Surgtest as his single core resource
  • Used high-yield MCQs and structured explanations to stay on track

“Depth beats quantity—and choosing the right resource saves you more time than trying to use them all.”

Active Recall Over Passive Reading

Instead of relying on endless notes, he built his prep around MCQ practice:

  • Solved Surgtest MCQs daily—even between cases
  • Logged mistakes in a “mistake notebook”
  • Revised only what he got wrong, making revision lean and powerful

This made his final preparation personalized and efficient.

Webinars That Made a Difference

Surgtest’s Stage 2 webinar stood out for him because:

  • It provided mindset guidance, not just facts
  • Discussions with toppers helped him prepare for the interview stage
  • It trained him to “think like a surgeon” rather than memorize answers

Attempting 78/80 Questions Was Intentional

  • Attempting fewer than 70 is risky in such a competitive exam
  • Consistent MCQ practice built his confidence to attempt more
  • Pattern recognition and logical elimination gave him an edge even in uncertain cases

Consistency Over Perfection

  • Not every day was perfect—but he never broke his chain of study. Even on difficult days, he made sure to:

    • Take a short quiz
    • Revise bookmarked questions
    • Spend at least 15 minutes engaging with Surgtest

    This daily consistency kept his momentum alive until exam day.
