Make a Time-Table

Every year lakh of students appear for NEET examination, but only a handful of them get selected. Do you know the reason why? The simple reason is that all the students did not have a good strategic NEET preparation plan. Without proper time management, one can’t qualify the exam. One must stick to a timetable as it helps to stay focused on the goal.

Plus NEET has a vast syllabus which should be divided into the timetable very accurately so that one can complete the whole syllabus on time.

Practice Everyday

Studying is good, but practicing is a much better idea. If you are studying without practicing, you will not be able to know how much you have learnt. Therefore, you must practice previous years NEET Question Papers on daily basis. It will help you know what and how to prepare better.

Mock Tests

Time is the biggest hurdle in cracking the NEET examination. Solving 180 questions in 180 minutes is quite a tedious task. Taking mock tests regularly helps to boost confidence level and helps you to figure out the best paper attempting strategy to maximize your score in the NEET Result.

Work on your Weak areas

After taking mock test regularly, you are able to identify your weak areas. Thus, once identified, you must work on them and more. For NEET Exam preparation, you must work on your basic concepts and dedicate more time to your weak sections.

Take care of your Health

A healthy mind resides in a healthy body, therefore you must take care of your health. One must eat healthy and balanced diet. Exercising frames a major part of your health, through exercise harmful toxins are released out of the body, thus making you feel fresh and relaxed. This also helps you to calm your mind which helps you to increase concentration power.

Remain Positive Always

One must remain positive as this positive and proactive attitude will have a great impact on your NEET preparation.

Negative attitude will not give you the zeal to crack the exam. When you think positive, your brain works in the same direction to achieve that goal.
