NEET Student Strategy: “Study Smart, Not Just Hard”


1. Know the Exam Inside-Out

  • Subjects: Physics (45 Qs), Chemistry (45 Qs), Biology (90 Qs)
  • Total Marks: 720
  • Marking Scheme: +4 for correct, -1 for wrong

🧠 Understanding the exam = 50% clarity already!


📆 2. Make a Realistic Study Plan

  • Divide Your Day:
    • 4 hrs Biology (biggest weightage)
    • 2.5 hrs Chemistry (alternate Inorganic/Organic/Physical)
    • 2.5 hrs Physics (more concept-focused)
    • 1 hr: MCQ Practice / Mistake Log / Revision
  • Weekly Plan:
    • 6 days study, 1 day for tests and deep revision
    • Finish Class 11 in 4-5 months, then Class 12

📚 3. Study Material Checklist

  • Biology: NCERT (100% must), Trueman’s Bio, MTG NCERT at Your Fingertips
  • Chemistry:
    • Physical: N Awasthi
    • Organic: MS Chauhan
    • Inorganic: NCERT + VK Jaiswal
  • Physics: HC Verma + D C Pandey + NCERT + PYQs

🧠 4. Use the “Learn – Apply – Analyze” Method

  • LEARN → Watch/Attend class, make short notes
  • APPLY → Do MCQs right after studying the topic
  • ANALYZE → Maintain a mistake notebook for wrong MCQs

📝 5. Prioritize PYQs (Previous Year Questions)

  • Solve 10 years of NEET papers for every subject
  • Try chapter-wise PYQ books (Arihant / MTG)
  • Understand how NCERT lines turn into questions

⏱️ 6. Time-bound Mock Tests

  • Full syllabus tests weekly after 5–6 months of study
  • Simulate actual exam conditions: 3 hours, no breaks
  • Post-test: Analyze performance → Identify weak areas → Revise

📌 7. NCERT Revision = Non-Negotiable

  • Especially for Biology and Inorganic Chemistry
  • Line-by-line reading
  • Highlight keywords, diagrams, tables, footnotes — everything!

🧘‍♀️ 8. Manage Mindset & Motivation

  • Stay away from negativity and toxic comparisons
  • Take short breaks, meditate, or walk
  • Avoid burnout — it’s a long race!

🧩 9. Use Flashcards & Cheat Sheets

  • Keep formula sheets and flashcards handy for Physics & Organic Chem
  • Create summary sheets before the last 1 month

📲 10. Use Smart Tools

  • Apps: NEETprep, PhysicsWallah, Unacademy, YouTube (for concepts)
  • Doubt-solving: Ask your mentors, or use online forums like Doubtnut, Quora (with caution)

🌟 Bonus: Topper Tips

  • “Don’t aim to study more hours, aim to study better in the hours you do.”
  • “Be ruthless with your weak topics. Don’t avoid them.”
  • “Every test is a goldmine of improvement — review it like it’s your teacher.”
