It is with immense pleasure that we present this book 'Crack the Entrance: A Preparatory Manual of Materia Medica MCQ Examinations in Homeopathy' before the Homeopathic fraternity. We have had the opportunity to interact with students of Homeopathy from different parts of India especially through the well-known Homoeopathic portal similima. corn'. The main difficulty usually faced by the students appearing for competitive examinations is the unavailability of an authentic book with study material on Materia Medica.

After deep thought and detailed study, we decided to bring about a book, which would be of immense help for the students of Homeopathy.

This book is the first part of a series of books that we have planned to publish. It contains important study material and objective type questions exclusively based on Materia Medica. It has come to our notice that in all competitive examinations in Homeopathy till date; about twenty percent to thirty percent of questions appear from Materia Medica.

We have put our best foot forward when we ventured out about 5 years ago to collect materials for the book. Though the process was slow but we always had an eye for perfection. A thorough analysis of the previous question papers of competitive examinations in Homeopathy inspired us to make this unique compilation of important study material and Multiple Choice Questions in Materia Medica. We have taken the utmost care to present each chapter in a simple and lucid manner, so that the students can comprehend easily.

Salient features of this book are:

(a) Study material based on authentic Materia Medica textbooks: This section comprises of 13 chapters. Each chapter comprises charts, tips for easy study, re-caps etc., which are based on frequently asked questions. The candidates have to be well versed with this chapter as it has been seen that questions based on this study material have appeared frequently in different question papers.
