2. Create A Proper Study Plan

It’s important to segregate your study schedule into a timeframe. Remember that this study plan will be your schedule till the time you appear for the final NEET exam. So to build this, consider the following: daily hours to study, subject-wise hourly schedule, weekly testing, and revision hours.

3. Start with the NCERT books. 

These will help to cement your foundation and conceptual knowledge. Try to test yourself after each chapter so that you can know whether you have mastered the concepts or not. 

4. Make your own revision book

During the last few days before the NEET UG exam, your revision notebook will be of great help since this is the time when those short notes come handy. These short notes allow you to list all the important formulae, information, details and topics that you need to keep in your grip. Use them for last-minute revision.

Some Extra NEET UG Preparation Tips

  • Practise as many questions as possible for all three subjects.
  • Take as many Mock Tests as possible. Start with chapter-wise tests and then move on to full-length mocks.
  • Solve previous years question papers to be accustomed to the NEET exam pattern.
  • Divide your study time into small portions and take small breaks in between study schedules. This will increase your alertness and effectiveness. 
  • Make short notes since they will help you recollect faster. 
  • Keep your concepts clear. 
  • Read NCERT from cover to cover.
  • Don’t leave any topis rather revise both 11th and 12th class topics intensely. 
  • Get proper sleep of at least 7-8 hours. Compromising with sleep will result in lack of concentration.

Since Health is important in times of preparation, we at PrepLadder UG encourage you to follow the above-mentioned tips religiously.
