How to Prepare for the Upcoming NEET Exam (12 September 2021)
One of the most sought-after examinations in India today is NEET (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test) which selects students from all over the country intending to provide quality education in the field of medicine. More than 14 – 16 lakh students appear for NEET every year for nearly 1.63 lakh seats in different medical and dental colleges across the country.
Having the NEET exam amidst the COVID-19 pandemic was challenged by some students and opposition-ruled states, who argued that holding these exams at this time would endanger the lives of students. However, not only was the conducting of the exams a problem, students had to overcome a new obstacle一 to prepare for the NEET exam at home. With coaching centres (the best option for optimal and fast results) being forced to close down, students had no other option but to prepare on their own.
So, how do you prepare for NEET 2021? The answer to the same is likely to vary from person to person. However, candidates contemplating preparing for NEET without coaching must assure themselves that the idea is completely feasible. Challenging, as it may seem, strategic planning and disciplined execution of the plan will help candidates see through the process of how to prepare for NEET 2021 without coaching. Following the strategies discussed below will assist the candidates in their pursuit of cracking the largest medical entrance examination in the country!
- Collect Resources and Sort Through the Syllabus:
The syllabus for NEET is vast, so collecting the required resources and arranging them by their importance is important. The entire preparation would be of no use if the candidates are not aware of the sections, chapters, and concepts that are in the NEET syllabus. Dividing the time to be spent on each section can be done only when a candidate knows the syllabus thoroughly.
The NEET exam covers the NCERT Syllabus as well. It would be very beneficial if there are common chapters as you will not need to prepare them separately. This will give you enough time to concentrate on parts that are not covered.
- Create A Tailored Time Table:
Anyone can arrange notes, books, and tutors for you, but time management is something that you have to manage yourself. A study timetable is something that helps you to stay on track and balance your study time well so that you have time for other activities too. When you plan ahead of your examinations, you know what you need to do and when you need to do it also you become aware of how much time you need to complete a particular topic.
To start NEET preparation, you need to stay focused. If you have set your eyes on a particular college, it’ll give you the necessary motivation. You don’t have to write like studying for 20 hours because we all know that is not achievable. Instead, identify your strong/weak points and allocate enough time for each subject and prepare accordingly.
- Start With Core Concepts:
Here are the most important concepts for NEET exams in Chemistry, Biology, and Physics一
Chemistry: General Organic Chemistry, Mole Concept, Periodic Table, Coordination Chemistry, Chemical Bonding.
Biology: Genetics, Ecology & Environment, Cell Biology, Morphology, Basics of Biotechnology, Reproduction, Physiology of Animals & Plants.
Physics: Optics, Mechanics, Nuclear Physics, Thermodynamics
While studying these concepts, mark out the concepts which you find difficult in every chapter. Spend more time revising and solving questions based on these concepts. Keep adding nuanced topics to your repertoire once you have a strong foundation of these core concepts.
- Review Through Mock Tests and Active Recall:
Examiners have been known to keep a standard difficulty level across the years of the NEET exam. Attempting previous year questions will give you an idea of what you can expect in the exam and how well you may do. Mock tests are designed at a slightly higher level to provide optimal challenges preparing for growth.
All the candidates who are appearing in the NEET Exam need to finish 180 questions in about 180 minutes. This means that they can give a maximum of 1 minute per question. Time management is the main aspect required for the exam. So keep it in your mind as a time limit and practise test papers regularly to maintain time management.
