People often ask the counselors, subject experts, and course coordinators, whether there is any shortcut to success in NEET Exam. The answer to this most frequently asked question (FAQ) is yet, there is a shortcut, though not as short as an aspirant wants it to be.
NEET examination paper is composed of the questions from the NCERT syllabus for classes 11 & 12. It is not an easy task to master Physics, Chemistry, and Biology syllabus drafted for the two years of senior secondary, i.e. 11 and 12 standards. The syllabus of NEET is widely spread. It is an even field for all unless you know what to study and what to leave behind. So, to get into the top several hundred students to secure a seat in elite medical colleges isn’t an easy task.
What should be the strategy to clear the NEET exam in a single attempt? Zameer Akhtar, faculty at The Hind Guru Academy suggests, “Students should make a study planner. They should keep a diary or a calendar with clearly marked deadlines. One should get the syllabus, previous year papers, and the list of important topics that get more marks.”
Noor Nawaz Khan, the founding director of the Hind Group also suggests exhaustive revisions, mastering and getting acquainted with the NEET question papers. “Students should go through the previous papers and attempt more and more online mock tests”, he says.
Is this enough? A big no. The aspirant should identify his strengths and weak points. Then a plan should be prepared in which one should gratify the chapters according to the capability. Aspirants for NEET Exam should be ready to set out long study sessions, maybe between 12-15 hours a day. This doesn’t mean one should ignore his/her health. Don’t overstress your body as it may result in failure of the entire plan. Keep yourself fresh. Take small breaks in between. Eat good, healthy food and avoid the junk, outside stuff. Get enough sleep so that you may not fall asleep during study time.
To get some extra marks and secure a place in the merit of Government Medical Colleges, students need to commit some extra time. One should focus on memorizing the topics for the NEET exam. The best way to increase your memory skills is to prepare notes of what you are studying.
Note down all the important points in a copy or a diary. Use a color pen and pencils to segregate those points. Note down your points clearly. You may be able to get them while revising, otherwise, they are of no use. Notes should be written in such a way that they should not create confusion during the time of revision.
Another good practice is to avoid marathon study sessions. Focus on weaker or difficult topics, but don’t waste time. Ask you a teacher or join good coaching for NEET where your mentor may help you to resolve the tough parts of the syllabus. If you follow these points, no one can stop you from clearing the NEET exam.
