NEET 2025 Preparation
NEET 2025 preparation must be started by candidates at least two years in advance since the NEET syllabus involves chapters and topics of both Class 11 and Class 12. However, a student who has gained overall subject and conceptual knowledge of Physics, Chemistry and Biology, can start their full-fledged NEET preparation a year before the exam, which is right after starting their Class 12. Here we bring some tips to prepare for the NEET 2025 exam.
- Know the NEET exam pattern and structure thoroughly – The first and foremost method of NEET preparation is to be abreast with the exam pattern and structure. While the NEET exam pattern is given above, students are also advised to go through previous years’ NEET question papers to get a thorough idea of the exam structure.
- Be thorough with the NEET syllabus – It is expected that the NEET 2025 syllabus will be the same as last year. Hence, they must go through the syllabus of NEET and check and prepare for the additional areas which they have not studied in their Class 11 and Class 12.
- Analyse strengths and weaknesses – It is very important to assess one’s strengths and weaknesses to prepare properly. Based on the analysis, one should plan the preparation strategy to improve the weak areas and revise the strong areas to not lose guard on the same.
- Practice – Along with preparation, it is important to practice from various sources such as NEET mock tests (full-length and sectional), solving previous years’ NEET question papers, test series, etc.
