This handy book attempts to reduce this feeling of inadequacy as it provides most important information in clear, short and capsular form so that the student can review the subject thoroughly and prepare confidently to face the examinations. The reader is initiated into writing Ultra Short Notes and Short Notes as a large proportion of the marks is allotted for short notes and ultra short notes.

The Essays modelled in the book give an insight into the skill and ability to write these when asked in the professional examination.
