NEET UG exam day tips

There were a few things and some quotes that used to run in my mind during the last phase.

At the end of the day, when all is said and done, there is only one thing over which you have complete control – your mind.

A student has to go through certain complexities before he assumes a position of importance. In order to endure them successfully, he needs one sure thing – peace of mind.

Your state of mind matters in the last days before the exam. And to think the most positive thoughts is the best way to boost the performance. People and environment around may create an air of tension as the exam approaches, but remember no exam can be so big that it can overwhelm you, it is just another exam that you will face, nothing more. No matter what an exam or result has in store for you, you are the best.

‘How I attempted NEET UG’

NEET UG topper

In the last few days, I used to revise the volatile points which I had marked in the NCERTs and mostly I used to make mistakes in. Secondly, I used to practice previous years questions of physics with timers.

To avoid mistakes in the OMR, I used to read the question and underline them simultaneously and encircle the important words like true, incorrect..etc

I had made a small formula copy where I had written the formula of each chapter in a single sheet which I used to revise

On the last day, I just went through the formula copy I made once but then I started having anxiety so I gave up

I had carried Glucon D in my transparent water bottle because NEET UG was held at the peak of summer

When your brain does not work, take a deep breath and relax and and skip that question. It is not necessary to solve all the questions but to solve the maximum.
