You can score more marks with less number of words if you draw diagrams to represent what you are trying to convey in your answer. Some toppers also recommend drawing with colour pencils to make the presentation good and appealing if you get the time.

Even in forensic medicine, you should use diagrams.

Paper-II is more dynamic than Paper I. It contains case studies and it would be good if you can refer a few PG books for questions on the same. It is an added advantage if you can take the help of your seniors who are practising medicine for tips on such case studies.

When there is a choice of questions between static questions and questions on forensic medicine, it is better to stick to direct questions. Forensic medicine deals with subjective topics like suicide, rape, etc., so it is advisable to stay clear of it when presented with a choice.
