Revision

Based on this, they can calculate the number of hours that they will need to revise all three subjects by dividing the total number of hours by 30. On average, one should be spending nearly six to seven hours on revision. This time is inclusive of all the breaks taken between two subjects/chapters. Therefore, aspirants must make the most of this time and minimise the time spent on breaks.

You can follow a single good book. Try to give maximum time to NEET study. Practise few mocks and previous year papers. It is possible to score this high with six months preparation. Avoid distractions and just follow one single good book.
Mock tests are an important aspect of NEET preparation. Preparation will be incomplete without taking NEET mock tests. NEET 2026 mock test will give students exposure towards the exam structure. It will also help them understand their preparation level and mistakes to avoid. Students must get the performance analysed thoroughly by an expert or mentor. The analysis will provide insights about the areas of improvement, causes of mistakes, correct approach to attempt questions, time management, etc. The objective of the analysis is to provide an in-depth viewpoint on their performance.
Mock Tests
The next part of the one-month preparation strategy is solving the NEET mock tests. At least three to four hours every day should be dedicated to solving mock tests during the last month of NEET preparation. Students don’t have to take a complete mock test every day as it can be exhausting. They can take three complete mock tests during the week. On the remaining days, they can take subject-wise tests. They will get you into the habit of solving the questions and improve your speed, ultimately benefitting test-takers on exam day. Since the structure of the exam was changed last year, it is important to take mock tests in the new exam structure. The full-length NEET mock tests must be taken in proctored mode, i.e. solving the complete NEET question paper in three hours without taking any break.
Time Management
By now, students must have attempted enough mock tests to evaluate themselves. According to experts, candidates must allocate some time for revision at the end of attempting all the questions. The first aspect of revision is to check the questions marked for trying later and attempting those. The second aspect of revision is to go through the attempted questions to ensure there are no silly mistakes.
Learning From Your Mistakes
Only solving mock tests are not enough. After each mock exam, students should analyse result themselves and if possibile with some experts so that they can suggest required strategy changes. This will also help candidates decide on their NEET exam-taking strategy. One must also dedicate another couple of hours to analyse the mistakes that are causing them to lose marks. Also, they should pay close attention to those questions that they could not attempt in the mock test. Doing this will ensure that they do not end up committing the same mistakes on exam day. Along with expert analysis of mock tests, self-analysis and introspection on one's performance are equally important and necessary.

Recreational Activities
As they say, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Aspirants should dedicate an hour or two to the things that they like doing, such as sports, painting, watching movies and listening to music. This will break the monotony and will help them stay focused on their studies. This time can be incorporated in between revision and solving mock tests.

Get Ample Rest to Stay Fit
Though you might think of cutting on your daily sleep to study but it is not advisable. To perform your best in the exam and prepare well, you must get six to eight hours of sleep daily. You need to be healthy especially when the exam nears and on the exam day.
Stay focused
The most important advise for students is that they should remain focused and disciplined. They should follow their timetable and do not skip the study time for other random things. Mental health is also important, they should remain positive and optimistic and believe that they can do well in the exam.

How do I prepare for the NEET during a BSc Preparation of NEET UG with your on going BSc Degree. There are two things involved and I'm going to give the answer in two fragments. SEE if you are going to do your BSc From a government college where you have to study and pass your sem/annual exam with practicals then it will be lil tough for you, then remember one thing don't make a mistake of studying in last month to take exam of your college bc it will only waste your time of one month which might be very crucial from perspective of NEET and it will be a hazard if sem/annual exam falls near your NEET exam. So study for college solely by attending lecture of your teachers in college and make their notes and you can bunk your college to prepare for NEET don't waste your time in making frnds in college and make a habit of studying for college BSc In only study hours of your college and rest of the time for NEET and make sure you dedicate your focused I repeat focused 5-6 hour of time for NEET and increase it gradually. And for college exams don't take stress you have your notes just revise them before one week and you are good to go If you are doing your B.Sc. From private college then boom don't take any tension just talk to administration and you won't have to attend the college ( if they ask pay them if it's a small college they will accept the offer for 5-6k ) you don't have to attend the lecture and practicals too just go and take the exam and may be they will arrange something for you in exams too like cheating and all you will pass it without any tension. Although you can buy notes of subjects from market notes are available in market and study them before 2 weeks of your exam and you can study for your NEET exam. It would be tough to manage both of them but over-all it is rewarding so do it and ha! Don't take any pressure everything comes from practice and studying is a practice dude! Make a habit of doing meditation you will SEE the benefits within 30 days start with 5 minutes and gradually increase upto 15 minutes for first 30 days it will surely help in your studies. Don't fall for the trap that I can revise something in that 15 minutes or can chill by listening songs or watching videos nope don't do that mediation can ease your journey of preparation.
