How to Prepare for NEET-UG

Year after year, the level of competition and the competitive pool for NEET is growing! To crack and qualify to take up a medical seat, one must need the best approach. Part of the plan must be a study planner, revisions, mastering NCERT syllabus from class 11 & 12, getting familiar with question papers, and much more. Aim high! A well-documented, customized plan comprising all your strengths and weak points can serve as a benefit. Here are some preparation tips for NEET 2020, which you can follow:

Know the Syllabus In and Out

The first and foremost thing that you should be aware of is the entire information about the official NEET syllabus. It will help you in comparing the NEET syllabus with your board exam syllabus. It is useful because if there are common chapters, you will not have to prepare for them individually. It can give extra time to prepare for the topics that are not included in the syllabus.

Good Study Material

The most crucial factor in preparing for any exam is study material. Following the correct NEET Related study material is essential to prepare for the examination. NCERT Books are an absolute must to prepare for the exam. Additionally, you should consult your teacher/mentor for the list of books to focus on. However, it is important that you restrict the number of books that you refer - as too many books will lead to confusion and you may find yourself reading too many books for one topic only and missing out on covering other topics.

Prepare Notes

The best approach to improve memory skills is to prepare notes while studying. You should note down all the essential points in a notebook, which can be beneficial for revision before the examination and save a lot of time.

Concentrate on Weaker Sections

You can be stronger in one topic and comparatively weaker in another, but you should not get demotivated with this. Work harder on the parts that are weak to strengthen them. Solve NEET sample papers and previous year’s question papers to analyse your weaker areas and dedicate more time to those sections.
