Exam Hall Guidelines
- Question papers are distributed about 10 minutes before the time of examination
- Students can start answering only after 2 pm
- Start filling your OMR sheet at the earliest to avoid wasting time
- Go over the paper once to have an essence of the question paper
- Know your order of solving sections – Physics, Chemistry and Biology. This is as per your comfort level
Attempting NEET Question Paper
- Briefly go over the instructions given
- Preferably, start with the Biology section as it has 90 questions. Aim to complete this section within 45-55 minutes
- Pre decide the amount of time you will allocate to attempt each section of the paper. If you are taking more time than you allocated to that section, skip the remaining questions, and revisit them later
- In case it is being revisited by you, mark or circle them
- While attempting a question, if you are not sure of the answer, try eliminating options one by one to arrive at the answer. Take an educated guess if necessary
- Coming to the next section, preferably Chemistry, try answering the section in 40 – 45 minutes
- Physics is usually the last section that students attempt
- Do not waste a lot of time on a question you are not aware of. Revisit it. In case you have no idea of it at all, skipping one or two of such questions is fine as NEET has a negative marking scheme
The day before your exams is not the time to sort that pile of notes. Get a folder, sort your belongings, get rid of anything irrelevant to the exam. Summarize your learning into one frame covering the main points only to trigger your memory.
