Divide time judiciously between all the subjects

You should be working on a schedule. Now you need to cut off all the time you have allotted to extra activities like hanging out with friends and playing games or watching videos. Every minute has to be accounted for. Other than the essential breaks to give your body some exercise, food, and rest, all other distractions are prohibited. Each subject should be included in your daily time table. Plan to finish the portions and ensure you have completed what you planned at the end of the day. Put in proper practice time for problems that need solving and revisions. You have to diligently follow the new time table till the exams.

Revise continuously

Revising concepts and attempting questions based on the concepts you have already learned will make a world of difference to your scores. Since you must be clear about ideas when you attempt questions, continuous revisions and practice of questions are a must. Revisions will not only help you recall concepts, remember figures, facts, and topics but give the much-needed boost of confidence.

Attempt Questions – Previous year’s question papers and Mock Tests

Attempting questions should be part of your daily routine leading up to the exams. It will not only help you revise your concepts but also help in understanding the time needed to answer the questions. Time management is an essential part of the NEET exam. Practice by attempting at least one previous year’s question paper per day. You’ll be able to attempt at least 20 in as many days. It would be best if you also attempted mock tests. Mock tests give you the advantage of the exact exam scenario. The tests are time-based, have OMR sheets, and have a high difficulty level. This gives you the much-needed practice to improve speed and accuracy, the two key skills to crack the exam. Also, Mock tests have a feedback system that gives you an in-depth report about the correct and wrong answers so that you can revise those concepts again.

Practice for speed and accuracy

You need to understand that a wrong move or silly mistake will drastically change your ranking. So accuracy is a must, but you must also complete the question paper. That is why you must continuously practice improving both. Download OMR sheets and previous question papers for consistent practice. Focus on the different subjects in an individual manner. Since Biology does not need any calculation, you could solve it easily if your concepts are clear. You could start by attempting it first and completing it quickly. For Physics and Chemistry, it is up to you what you decide to choose first, depending on your proficiency. While practicing, you should learn to do minor calculations in your head to increase your speed.

How to study for NEET Biology

In less than a fortnight, you will face the exam many have been preparing for the past 2 years or more. There’s absolutely no need to have faith in pseudo-predictions made by the so-called experts.
