NEET-UG: Preparation Tips

• As part of your NEET-UG preparation, the first step is to study the entire exam syllabus. Also, draw comparisons between the syllabus of NEET-UG and your Board exam one. If there are common chapters, you can prepare for both examinations together. Then, you have enough time to cover the rest of the NEET-UG syllabus too.
• The next step is to chart-out your study plan. Make sure to cover the entire syllabus when drafting your study schedule. Also, leave sufficient time for revision and practice.
• Invest efforts in your weak areas. Normally, you are strong in some subjects and weak in others. Work to improve in your weak areas. In the process, take help from teachers and friends too.
• Take mock tests regularly. Note that you have 180 minutes (3 hours) to answer 180 questions. Hence, the time limit per question is 1 minute. For the same, you must develop your time management skills. Mock tests can give you enough practice to do so. Also, try to solve the questions in lesser time when solving the mock tests.
• Medical exams contain several questions on the Biology subject. Thus the candidates must focus on understanding the different Biology concepts thoroughly to excel in the exam.
• In addition to Biology, other Science subjects (such as Physics and Chemistry) must be covered as well.
• Avoid guesswork. You may tend to apply guesswork to difficult questions. However, note that you will lose marks if the answer is incorrect because the exam has negative marking. So, leave the questions that you are not confident about.
• Take measures to mentally and physically prepare yourself also. All the same, ensure to eat healthily, follow an exercise regime and, more importantly, sleep well. To improve your concentration levels, you must practice meditation and yoga as well.
