How to utilize the remaining 20 days before the NEET exam?
As the NEET exam approaches, candidates need to devote all their efforts to prepare for it, realizing that time is limited. Even though there are only 20 days left, candidates can use this time effectively with unwavering commitment. However, the crucial step in their preparation should be strategic planning. Candidates who have a thorough understanding of the NEET syllabus and topics will find it easier to crack the exam in these final days. It is natural to feel anxious before the exam, but it is important to keep calm and composed.
    • Prioritizing building strengths and Revision: Having a clear understanding of your areas of weakness and strength is essential to effectively allocate study time. Once you have identified your weaker subjects, it is advisable to allocate more study time to them, while still maintaining a balance between all subjects. Candidates should prioritize thorough revision of all the formulas of Physics and Chemistry, which can save time during the exam. Practicing more questions related to these formulas can also help in revising. It’s crucial to learn all the reactions of inorganic and organic chemistry and revise them to reinforce understanding. As the NEET exam primarily focuses on NCERT textbooks, reading the NCERT Biology book thoroughly is important. Candidates should revise all the diagrams, statistics, and concepts, which can be completed in 2-3 days if read deeply. By combining these revision strategies, candidates can improve their understanding and increase their chances of success in the NEET exam.
 
    • Practice previous year papers and mock tests: Practicing previous year papers and mock tests in an environment that simulates the actual exam environment is a great way to prepare for exams. This can help you get a feel for the actual exam conditions, which can be stressful for some students. To create an environment similar to the exam, find a quiet and distraction-free area to take the test. Use a timer to ensure that you complete the test within the specified time limit. Also, try to avoid interruptions or distractions during the test. You can also try taking the mock test or previous year papers under conditions that mimic the actual exam, such as sitting at a desk or table and using the same writing utensils and resources that will be available during the exam. This can help you become more comfortable with the exam environment and minimize any surprises or distractions on the day of the exam.
    • Time Management: To make the most of this limited time, candidates must double their efforts and value the importance of every minute. Wasting time at this point can come at a higher cost. To effectively manage time, candidates should set daily goals and divide their time equally among all sections and subjects. This will help them keep track of their progress and ensure they cover all important topics. Eliminate the use of social media. Social media can be a major distraction and can waste valuable time that could be better spent studying and preparing for the exam.
 
    • Accuracy: Analysis is a critical component in improving accuracy on the NEET exam. One way analysis can improve accuracy is by helping candidates to understand their mistakes and develop a better understanding of the underlying concepts and theories. By reviewing incorrect answers and analyzing the thought process that led to the mistake, candidates can develop a stronger understanding of the subject matter and avoid similar mistakes in the future. Additionally, analysis can help candidates to develop problem-solving skills by identifying common mistakes and patterns in their answers. By recognizing these patterns, candidates can adjust their approach and develop effective strategies to solve similar questions accurately. If you are not checking your mistakes after mock test it’s of no use.
 
    • Restore a normal sleeping pattern, otherwise you won’t be able to sleep the night before NEET. That can be disastrous.
 
    • Refrain from consuming junk foods. Eat homecooked meals and stay hydrated.
 
    • Candidates are advised to take short study breaks, meditate, do small physical exercises. This does not only help in controlling the stress level but can also keep the mental health stable.
