If u manage to do all tht i have mentioned above .. tht is enough to get u through ur ENT 2 ward test fr the time being ... just dnt get scared ... the first time u study ENT it keeps getting jumbled up .. dnt fret .. happens to everyone... u atleast wud need to revise it once otherwise the jumbling wont stop..Dr Pal takes the viva himself... asks really easy and simple ques.. just dont get confused..

even if u flunk this ward test .. u can give it again with the next batch ... lets just hope it doesnt come to tht

adios and best of luck fr the ward test ..
