Applicants must identify and correct these silly mistakes as soon as possible in order to secure a good rank in NEET 2023.
There are a few common mistakes aspirants should avoid while preparing for NEET 2023:
1. IGNORING NCERT BOOKS
The first and foremost mistake that many students make is ignoring NCERT books. NCERT books serve as the foundation of the NEET exam and contain almost 70% of the syllabus of the NEET exam.
While students are engaging themselves in too many books and other study materials from different publishers, it is always advised not to forget NCERT as it is one of the most efficient books.
2. POOR TIME MANAGEMENT
The most critical aspect is effective time management. Creating a study plan can allow you to prepare more effectively for your tests. It will assist you in focusing and devoting more attention to crucial topics and subjects.
Regrettably, most students do not consider it significant. Avoiding difficult chapters can significantly reduce your chances of scoring high marks. Also, provide enough time for each subject and topic.
3. NOT SOLVING PREVIOUS YEARS' QUESTION PAPERS AND MOCK EXAMS
Most students make the error of not taking the time to solve sample exams. It is important to solve previous years’ question papers and mock tests as it will help the candidate to recognise weak areas on which attention and focus are required.
Along with that, solving mock exams will also help aspirants in better time management and maintaining speed and accuracy during exams.
4. PRIORITISING AND FOCUSSING ON A SINGLE SUBJECT
NEET is primarily for biology geeks. Hence, instead of focusing on all topics, some students decide to study biology while neglecting physics and chemistry. Avoid this practice.
Physics and chemistry are unavoidable sections of NEET. While biology can help you pass the NEET, remember that the physics and chemistry sections determine your overall rank As a result, give equal weightage to all 3 sections.
5. REFERRING TO MULTIPLE BOOKS AND DIFFERENT SOURCES OF STUDY MATERIALS
This may be a tremendous mistake. Students frequently acquire a lot of information from many different books, which is mostly irrelevant and useless. This practice should be avoided.
NCERT must be the primary study material for NEET preparation. Reading from numerous sources might lead to confusion during exam.
