If reading all these NEET SS pathology books in a couple of months looks like an overwhelming task, divide your study schedule into small chunks and set targets for completing topics. One way to do this is to use the Pathology MCQ Bank for NEET SS and use the filter feature to solve MCQs one topic at a time.
To make mastery of the 21st edition of the Harrison’s textbook easier, we recommend the ongoing live and interactive Harrison’s Test and Discussion course along with the General Medicine MCQ Bank
