I am not so clear about your request. I presume you are asking about other source for the exam. I am compiling a list on that.
Regarding TOG- please read my previous TOG Blog

Last three years togs are enough ?
Anjana Mackeen says
Usually that’s the minimum that should be read, but some topics I have mentioned are older TOGs, like the cardiac disease. If you can read more, by all means do so.

Wiley online library ..is it good to collect TOG from this? Pl guide..thank u
Anjana Mackeen says
Yes that’s a good place. That’s how I downloaded mine. But Wiley has locked the TOG contents. You most probably need to subscribe or have access via an institution.

Dr Anjana ! Could u please help me deciding which exam to take,I want to tak March exam….but I have realised it requires quite extensive study…..so do u think studying for three months will be Enuff for preparation….I am not working at the moment…..ny suggestion?
Anjana Mackeen says
I will have to give the same reply I gave to Saira. It’s a tough question to answer. As it’s not the quantity but the quality of study you do. And it also differs between people who are starting at the very beginning and people who have studied or read things at least once and just need to revise. The usual average time required is about 6 months or more if you are a beginner. There are 2 aspects of this exam. Reading to understand, then preparing in an exam oriented way- like doing more and more question books and revising facts. I am not sure at which stage you are in. If you are only revising 3 months would be fine. I have been reading for quiet a long time as I was a masters student. Try to get a study buddy. It’s not easy to keep things in mind all by your self. Discussing helps to retain facts. You need to make a schedule and religiously follow it. All the spare time is usually spent in exam prep. You are not working does not mean you do not have family obligations. So the time you need depends on how much you already know and how much you can give for the exam.
I know it’s very daunting. But You can do this. All the best.
