MCQs Books:

• You will need to do only Coffeedent IMM Course because it will cover all MCQs and Past Papers as well, so need for any other MCQs Book. 

Start your prep with past papers (Coffeedent MCQs contains all Past Papers in chapterwise distribution)  along with text books. Contemporary Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery by Tucker and Textbook of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery by Neelima Anil Malik are two most important books for text. You can cover Oral Pathology from Neelima too (it contains important topics).

For anesthesia you can use Malamed but many MCQs can be covered by Coffeedent.

Do your prep with consistency. Every case at your hospital should be on your finger tips (it can cover much of your exam course). Do not skip trauma of Frontal Bone, NOE and Orbit at all. Reconstruction topic is way too important as well as multidisciplinary cases.
