Yes, if you have a solid MBBS foundation and can commit 7-8 hours/day. Cut to high-yield chapters only and prioritise PYQs over theory.
For 3-month prep, use Davidson + Harrison selectively for cardio/endo/ID only. Skip Harrison chapters on rare diseases.
Minimum 5-6 full mocks. Each mock reveals gaps and refines time-management. Take mocks every 2-3 weeks.
