Q:   How should I prepare for the NEET?
A: 
First of all, do not take NEET preparation lightly as it is the most competitive national-level entrance exam. So be prepared for the efforts. Second, your interest has to be there in all three subjects. Every subject holds marks so it is significant for your rank. Now coming to the priority tips for the NEET preparation- NEET Biology- What anyone would say, first go for NCERT only, so would I. Just go for thorough study materials, every diagram, line, table, summary, and everything. 5-10 readings I would say and everything will be on tips. After that refer to coaching modules correctly and practice them. Practice questions from MTG Biology at your fingertips. NEET Chemistry NCERT is the key for Inorganic and organic especially. Revise inorganic on a daily basis, it is a scoring subject. Write down exceptions and reactions in a separate notebook. Do practice questions for organic and physical. Physics- Do refer to your coaching notes for theory and assigned modules for practice. Join the Mock test series in the last month. Solve NEET and JEE Main (for Physics and Chemistry), previous year test papers for better practice and try to go for the easiest approach for the questions. Be confident as you have recently appeared for boards so most of the concepts are fresh in mind.
Q:   Which was the easiest section of the NEET 2023?
A: 
As per the NEET 2023 analysis, Physics and Biology were the easiest sections. Physics which is generally rendered as a tough subject, appeared as a surprise with easier questions. Biology on the other hand, is generally easy in nature, despite having the highest weightage in the NEET question paper. The topics of high weightage in the Physics section were Current Electricity Electro Magnetic Field, Modern Physics Rigid Body Dynamics, Modern Physics etc. In Biology the top chapters or units were Genetics, Human and Plant Reproduction, Cell Biology Sexual Reproduction in Flowering Plants, Application Biology and Human Physiology among others.
