NEET is an all India exam that is conducted for admissions into the medical colleges of India. NEET is a highly competitive examination in which 1 out of every 3 people is selected into colleges. The number of students applying for NEET keeps increasing every year and the competition gets more difficult as the years go by. NEET is a very difficult exam due to the difficulty of the Bio Exam. It causes a lot of pressure for the applicants and often leads to a lot of dejection if students are not able to clear this examination.
This article will give the students an outlook as to how to prepare for this exam efficiently. Some secret ways through which students can make an impact and can get better than other students appearing for the exam. The blueprint for the NEET preparation is as follows:
The answer is Physics: Physics is the main deciding factor as to who is going to qualify for the examination. All the Bio students are good in Bio and chemistry, but students often do not tend to have a good hold on physics as they don’t have maths in their curriculum. The absence of maths often makes the Bio students a little weak in physics. Since all the applicants are good in Biology and chemistry, a student who also has proficiency in physics will automatically get better marks and a better rank than other applicants. It is important not to ignore physics as it is the final deciding factor as to who clears the cut-off and who does not. Also, since the physics questions are comparatively easier in NEET, it can be a good scoring area for students who are proficient in physics. Students who have a good hold on maths would be at an advantage in NEET.
Covering NCERT books first: A building is as strong as its foundation. The foundation on which students gain advanced knowledge from guidebooks is the NCERT textbook. Often students ignore the NCERT textbooks thinking that they are not important. These students cannot grasp the explanations given in the guidebook as they directly move on to the complex concepts without creating a base. This practise should be followed for every subject, as it is important to do the simple things first before moving on to the complex ones.
Know what to study from where: Biology and chemistry should be studied from NCERT textbooks as well as guidebooks as these are topics where there is a lot to learn, and a bunch of theory is there which is not present in the NCERT textbooks. For physics the theory is to be studied only from NCERT and the guidebooks should be used only for solving problems. The next step is to get quality NEET Study Material. This may include reference books, practice papers, notes, etc.
Inorganic chemistry: Inorganic chemistry should be very well known to the students as it is the subject where students can save time. Students who are good in organic chemistry will take 5 seconds to answer one question of inorganic chemistry and that saves a lot of time. The money that students save in the questions of inorganic chemistry can give their time to solve other questions.
Giving up isn’t that bad and doesn’t ego solve: There are topics which students consider their strong points but, in the exam, students often find some questions from those strong topics that students cannot solve. This hurts the ego of students, and they waste the time to solve that problem, this reduces the time that they can devote to other questions. Find out the time that a student can give per question and in case a student feels they cannot attempt that question then it’s recommended that they immediately move on to the next question and come back to it later once they have finished the whole paper in case they have time.
Solve a maximum number of questions: A student should solve as many questions as possible one can. The more questions a student solves, the more experience they get of solving various types of questions. The students who have attempted all types of questions will have a greater chance of solving the questions in minimum time and that will allow them to solve the most questions. There is no time for students to solve questions that they haven’t encountered. Students hardly have a little more than a minute to solve the problems. Therefore, any student who has solved a vast variety of questions will have a chance of doing better than others in the exam.
Previous year papers: Previous year papers are the most important part of the NEET preparation. When the students solve the previous year’s papers, they understand the topics where most questions are coming from, and they can focus on those topics and increase their hold on these topics. The pattern of the papers is very important to understand so that students know what kind of questions are coming and students can prepare for those questions. One more benefit of solving previous year papers is that students gain a lot of confidence when they can solve the questions in these papers. They get the feeling that if they can solve the previous year’s questions then they can solve them while they give the exam too. This confidence is very important while appearing for the exams. The paper must be solved within the time limit and the conditions of the exams must be created while solving the previous year’s questions. This will make the real-time exam conditions easier to counter.
The NEET exam demands a lot from the applicants, and it can be cracked with a proper game plan for the exam. A strict routine, consistency, sincerity, determination along with the guidance given in this article can be the mantra to cracking the NEET exams. The stress and time must be managed and dealt with as these two conditions are not in anyone’s control and can cause heavy damage to the students during the exam. The article will help students control these aspects as well. Best of luck for NEET.
