With just a few months left for NEET, students are preparing for it like there is no tomorrow, and why shouldn’t they? The exam in question is the most sought after and toughest entrance tests to crack.
If you are a NEET aspirant, by now you already would be handed over with a catalogue, a list of things that you must cover to qualify the coveted test. However, not much is talked about things that must be avoided. Today, with this article, we aim to shed light on such points on NEET. Learn about the important things that a candidate must be mindful of and avoid hence, strategically plan a way out.
- Lack of a structure
Students without a proper organizer or structure to follow have a tough time dealing both with the preparation of NEET and on the day of the exam. A lack of a schedule can put you in grave danger. A schedule covering all 3 subjects, followed with discipline is critical to qualify. Fix your schedule to cover 97 chapters to answer 180 questions in 3 hours.
- Underestimating mock tests
While studying one must take up mock tests simultaneously. Mock tests are the perfect resources to give you a reality check, depicting where exactly you stand in the crowd. Take these tests on a regular basis and improve your time management skills. It is only through solving these papers does one get to pick up the various nuances to save time. Don’t regret later, start now!
- Pushing Physics away
Like it or not, but Physics is part of NEET, a crucial one. It can change your game. Often, the Physics section of NEET is considered to be the rank decider as most students get their Biology and Chemistry sections on point. Hence, to get an edge over other candidates, master and strengthen your Physics knowledge. Start with the most important chapters of NEET Physics, such as Mechanics (NEET 2020 saw the maximum number of questions appearing from this unit, nearly 12). Prioritize all-important chapters.
If you think Physics is challenging for you, then start preparing for it right from today. Don’t saturate yourself with all at once, take it easy and slow for effectively grasping information.
- Reading over practicing
Students make schedules, work hard around the clock and even pull all-nighters in the last few days. All this goes into vain without improper guidance. Students often tend to commit the blunder of merely reading through than working on applying the learnt concepts. NEET requires questions to be practised to develop a problem-solving mindset than mere reciting and learning.
- Know what you have signed up for
Students often forget why they are where they are. Constantly remind yourself why you chose this field. From the time you take up NEET registration till the day of the exam, be in the journey only with a view to emerge successfully. Know that medicine as a profession demands complete dedication and devotion, which starts from NEET preparation itself.
