Why Dr. Tejas Credits PW’s Marathon Classes for Her Journey from Rank 1700 to AIR 354

Preparing for NEET PG often reaches its toughest phase during revision, when fatigue sets in, scores fluctuate, and confidence starts slipping despite months of hard work. Dr. Tejas, who moved from a rank of around 1700 in INICET to securing AIR 354 in NEET PG, shares how this exact phase tested him the most. 

After a disappointing rank despite strong mock performance, he struggled to regain momentum. It was during this low phase, while trying to restart revision and rebuild focus, that PW’s Marathon classes helped him regain clarity, rebuild momentum, and move forward with confidence toward the final exam.

From Setback to Momentum: Dr. Tejas on Using PW MedEd’s Marathon Series 

Dr. Tejas had already gone through one phase of NEET PG preparation where his performance did not reflect the amount of effort he was putting in. When his rank was around the 1700 range, he realised that studying for long hours alone was not enough. What he needed was a more organised and revision-focused approach. Dr. Tejas says.

“To jaise ki maine pehle bataya ki 15 days tak main kuch padh nahi pa raha tha aur uske baad mein hi matlab hardly main 4 ya 6 hours padh pa raha tha. Tab mujhe Marathon Series ke baare mein pata chala PW Med ki, aur tab maine woh dekhna chalu kiya.”

This was a turning point. With PW MedEd’s Marathon Series, Dr. Tejas could follow a structured plan, revising high-yield topics while gradually regaining momentum.

With consistent practice, targeted revisions, and guidance supported by PW MedEd’s academic framework, his preparation gained direction. Over time, steady improvement was reflected in his ranks, helping him move from uncertainty to confidence, ultimately achieving AIR 354 in NEET PG.

How PW MedEd’s Marathon Series Became Dr. Tejas’s Best Tool to Restart Preparation?

When demotivation or mental fatigue set in, Tejas found it difficult to start his day by reading dense main notes. At that stage of preparation, jumping straight into heavy revision only made things harder. What he needed first was momentum.

That is where PW MedEd’s Marathon Series became his starting point.

“Momentum build karne ke liye… PW MedEd ki Marathon Series main subah dekh leta tha… usse mera momentum build ho gaya.”

For Tejas, these Marathon sessions acted as a mental bridge. Watching a concise, high-yield walkthrough helped him ease into the subject before switching to active study. Once a faculty member had already explained the topic, revisiting notes no longer felt overwhelming.

The sessions also helped him gain clarity on what truly needed attention in the final months. Instead of feeling lost in endless material, he could focus on relevant topics and move into revision with better confidence and direction.

When Confidence Dropped, How PW’s Telegram Support Helped Dr. Tejas Push Through 

Throughout his NEET PG journey, Dr. Tejas experienced phases of self-doubt, despite long study hours. He was unsure whether his efforts were leading to improvement. Instead of struggling alone, he reached out directly to PW MedEd faculty via Telegram.

“Maine Telegram pe message kiya ki sir, mera score 1700 aa raha hai. INICET mein rank aa rahi hai. Main din ke 12–13 ghante padh raha hoon. Phir bhi samajh nahi aa raha ki top 100 rank ke liye aur kya karna chahiye.”

The guidance he received helped him understand that consistent performance was more important than sudden jumps in scores. Faculty advice focused on stability, trusting the preparation process, and avoiding unnecessary pressure.

For Dr. Tejas, knowing that PW MedEd faculty were always available on Telegram helped him stay mentally balanced. This continuous support allowed him to follow structured revision and maintain focus even in the final high-pressure phase of preparation.

Balancing Theory, MCQs, and Active Recall

Dr. Tejas maintained a practical daily routine combining revision, new topics, and MCQs, ensuring he didn’t overload himself.

“Uthne ke baad starting ke half hour mein main second notebook ke notes padhta tha.”

Before sleeping, he planned the next day to avoid decision fatigue. A typical day for subjects like General Pathology and Hematology looked like this:

  • Read theory from notes

  • Solve 50 MCQs per subject

  • End the day with a mixed PYQ-based custom module covering multiple subjects

“Sone se pehle main mixed PYQ custom module lagata tha… 19 subjects ka.”

This ensured regular revision and reduced last-minute panic.

Structured Revision Cycles are the Key to Retaining 19 Subjects

Dr. Tejas followed a strictly timed roadmap for his preparation. He believes that the first and second readings are the most critical because they provide the foundation before the high-pressure of the final month.

  • First Read (5 Months): Finished by December end.

  • Second Read (3 Months): Jan to March. Even though many suggest that doing the second read faster, Tejas took his time because he felt he had forgotten a lot.

  • Third & Fourth Read: 1.5 months, and finally a 20-day rapid sweep before the exam.

“Bahut saare log bolte hain ki second reading ko aapko half karna hai first read se. Par main 50% almost bhool hi chuka tha, toh maine second read ko aur achcha time diya.”

Dr. Tejas considered himself a "slow reader" who suffered from FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out). He ensured that he didn't skip pages, which eventually built his confidence for the final exam.

Dr. Tejas’ Advice to NEET PG Aspirants

Dr. Tejas advises NEET PG aspirants to avoid FOMO and stay committed to one reliable source. As he says, 

       "Speak to the one source aur usi ko karte raho."

emphasizing consistency over chasing multiple materials.

He encourages active revision through notes and MCQs instead of depending only on videos. He also recommends maintaining a balanced routine that includes theory, practice questions, and active recall.

For mental well-being, he suggests taking a one-day break whenever motivation drops and then resuming the preparation with a refreshed and focused mindset.
