Tips To Crack NEET 2022

CREATE A LIST OF TOPICS IN AN ORDER BASED ON SIGNIFICANCE/PRIORITY

After making a detailed analysis of the significance of each topic in NEET, although there might be a slight variation each year, prepare a list of these topics separately for each subject, in descending order, starting with the most important topic. Then, remember to cover these topics in the same order, by creating strong foundations for each topic. Having said that, the last topics on the list shouldn’t be avoided.

GET A GRIP

Often, the students preparing to study medicine find it a little hard to solve numerical problems, i.e., in physics and chemistry. But, this is all that they need to remember – β€˜Get a Grip’ on the concepts. Always have this in mind to get each and every concept featuring in each topic implanted into your mind so that the numericals or questions you have to later encounter feels like a β€˜piece of cake’ to you.

SOLVE PREVIOUS YEARS’ QUESTION PAPERS

β€˜Practice makesΒ perfect’, is the apt thing to have said. The more you practice, the more the number of questions you will be able to answer/attempt, hence higher are your chances to crack the test.

In a competitive exam as NEET, correctly solving the maximum questions possible is of utmost importance. This is because, each question can bring a difference of around 2000-3000 ranks between candidates, depending upon how many candidates are writing the exam.

TAKE MOCK TESTS REGULARLY

Most people wait for them to finish studying all the topics and then start giving mock tests. Please remember, this is the most wrongly adopted approach.Β It will take a lot of time to finish studying the portions. By then, you might have to appear for NEET, and you would not have practised any mock test. This may not have pleasant consequences. By taking regular mock tests, you will be able to understand all the mistakes you are making in preparation and will be able to continuously improve.

CREATE QUICK NOTES

For Physics and Chemistry, Β you can make quick notes on formulae and concepts to revise and refer to when you are nearing the NEET. For Biology, you can make quick notes on important terms and definitions for the same purpose.

REVISE THOROUGHLY

It is not easy to remember hundreds of terms and definitions in Biology. Similar is the case with Physics and Chemistry. So, revision is vital to recapitulate and refresh what you had already studied a while ago.

KEEP FIT IN THE BODY AND MIND

β€˜Health is wealth’ and remember to take care of your health and keep calm and composed in your mind so that you can prepare yourself to take over the Herculean task of cracking the NEET.

Good Luck!
