NEET 2023 Preparation Tips
1) Preparing a timetable- As there are 3 months remaining for the examination, candidates need to prepare a timetable by dividing time equally for all subjects (or as they see best). The timetable will help keep the speed of the student on track and will help them complete the preparation on time.
2) Understanding the syllabus and mastering NCERT Books- As the questions in NEET 2023 are majorly based upon NCERT, students need to master the NCERT books while understanding the fundamentals behind every topic.
3) Conceptual clarity is key- For acing the medical exam, the candidates need to keep clearing their doubts and understand the topics with clarity. Referring to other study materials can be beneficial for students.
4) Test yourself with Mock papers- Mock exams are game-changers in any difficult entrance exam. Taking them will help the candidate evaluate oneself while finding the weaknesses where they need to focus.
5) Expert guidance- Students need to seek expert guidance to clear their doubts and problems to move on with their preparation.
6) Maintaining a healthy lifestyle will lead to better brain functioning- Doctors say that the human brain has the best functioning in the morning which is why candidates need to give their brains enough time to relax. By encouraging themselves to study early in the morning rather than late at night, candidates will be able to maximize their brain functioning.
The correct strategy and effective time management are important in determining an aspirant’s rank. This time is best for aspirants to master their preparation and time-management skills. Learning how to maintain accuracy and quality when responding to a single question while identifying and addressing the weak areas is also essential.
