Preparation for NEET should be done as per one’s own strategy, however there are some things that every aspirant should be mindful of.
The one that makes its way out of every list because of its paramount importance is familiarity with pattern and topics wise marks distribution.
Having a clear outline of the syllabus in mindand knowing where you can study the syllabus from will make segregating and strategizing easier.One can then get an idea of the conceptual, application-based and interconnected topics that can be clubbed together for a study plan.One should follow updates and consider information on topics from credible sources only.
Preparing for NEET 2022 would require setting priorities right, especially regarding study plans. A good plan will turn out to be handy if you’re determined to crack the exam all along.Additionally, consider preparing for the subjects according to their weightage. You may have to miss some of the parties that you’ll be invited to if you don’t give in to the need for instant gratification. But make sure you eat, sleep and socialize well.
Sometimes, even if we feel well prepared, we are not able to perform well. Rather than burdening yourself with completing a large chunk of the syllabus altogether, evaluate yourself at every step so you’re accustomed to the kind of questions and verse with the pattern.Then improve on the parts that you feel need to be reworked.
Learning resources are available for every topic and so are tests. Time yourself, and be honest while you take the test. Self-evaluation is as important a part as studying for a competitive exam.
For the NEET Exam to be held on July 17, Sunday results are expected to be released by October, however an official announcement has not been made yet.
