NEET stands for National Eligibility cum Entrance Test and it was formerly known as All India Pre-Medical Test. Every student who aspires to appear for and crack NEET knows that preparation is key. While there are no shortcuts to preparation, there are a lot of smart strategies that are employed by students who crack this exam.
If you are planning to appear for NEET 2020 and want to crack it in your first attempt, here are a few helpful tips.
Timetable Discipline
Yes, if you want to crack NEET, you first need to jot down a timetable that you will adhere to till the very end of your preparation. Preparing a timetable helps you to stay disciplined about your routine. Since there is always limited time for preparation, a timetable can help you distribute sufficient time for each of the subjects and also mock tests. While doing this, you will be easily able to set deadlines for yourself and thereby ensure thorough preparation.
Study and Evaluate
While you continue to follow your timetable routine in studies, you should try and remember what you study. It is easy to forget topics that you might have covered in the previous month and hence you should try and make notes that can help in easy revision. This has to be done from time to time in order to brush up topics that you finish reading. At every stage, you should evaluate yourself by using flashcard questions or taking topic-specific tests.
Mock Tests
The more the number of mock tests you are able to take, the better your chances of cracking NEET. While taking mock tests, you should ensure that you improvise on your scores by focusing on weak topics. Mock tests also allow you to compare your scores with your peers and help in giving you a picture of your ranking. After every mock test, you should ensure that all the incorrect answers are revised and re-studied in order to be better prepared for the next mock test.
Study Breaks
One of the most important aspects that get missed by many students is taking sufficient study breaks. In order to ensure that your mind functions properly, you also need to give it a break from time to time. The timetable that you prepare should incorporate enough study breaks in order to rejuvenate and recharge your mind.
Use Technology
While staying away from mobile phones and social media can help you in concentrating on NEET preparation, you can still make use of some technology in order to make your preparation smarter. There are a lot of online tools that can help you in making your revision easier. These can also help you in keeping a track of your preparation as well as mock test scores.
Health and Positivity
Above all, throughout your preparation, you need to maintain good health and a positive mind. This will significantly help in cracking NEET in the first attempt. Meditation, relaxation, and even exercising can help you with good health and positivity as you prepare for NEET.
No amount of hardwork is enough for NEET preparation. Sometimes smartwork can improve your chances at cracking NEET as compared to hardwork.
