wonder how anybody can remember the developmental milestones!!!!! those drawing circles and diamonds those two and three cube stacking ... those hoping and walking.. those coming down stairs and going up them...God.. if i fail in my cK it is going to be because of pediatrics.....

hi hotobhaga, I had the same problems with those milestones. This is what i did in the end. I memorized half of the milestones e.g picked a few fine, gross, language thats it. Cant memorize all but if you know a few of them you can take an educated guess. Goodluck.

i agree with sarika, i had that problem as well.Just dont ignore them entirely, try to learn a few and u can try to make an educated guess in ur exams based on that Also remember,when facing a difficult topic,all your questions in the exam are not goin to come from there,maximum mayb u might have about 4 out of about 350q and u dont have to know everythin.

try to make them logical!!! For example agex3 is the number of cubes they can stack... or tiptoes, sounds like tiptwos... so you know they are 2... tricycle... well it´s obvious 3!!! try to learn them sequential as well, for example going up stairs, going down, alternating and so on... and just try to imagine a kid doing all things he should be able to do in a sequence... it´s like creating a story, a lot easier to remember than just plain data... i hope this helps!!
