Roadmap to NEET 2024: A Comprehensive Strategy Guide

Sharing the strategy, Kaarki says, “Emphasis should be placed on the collection of study materials for new topics, relying on trusted sources and both old and new NCERT books. Rigorous practice through solving ample questions, embracing experimental learning for deep comprehension, and maintaining the relevance of omitted topics within chapters are highlighted as crucial strategies.”

Assess Your Preparation Level: With less than six months to go for the NEET 2024 exam, it is a must to assess your preparation level. With regular mock tests and question paper solving, you must have realized your strong and weak areas and must have also noted down how much is left to prepare in the syllabus. The next step will be to plan accordingly. Put higher emphasis on the topics with high weightage. You still have chance to improve on your weak areas. This can be done by brushing up theories and concepts and solving various questions from those topics.

Improve the Momentum of Preparation: At this stage, you must increase the pace of your NEET 2024 preparation. You must focus fully on NEET, even more than your Board exams or the class tests if you want to crack this exam. By now, if you were studying three chapters a day, you must target minimum five to six chapters, along with sectional mock tests, or solving at least one previous year NEET question papers in a proctored manner. Setting targets is key. Kaustav Bauri, NEET 2023 topper with AIR 3 explained, “I used to set personal targets or goals to complete a particular chapter or topic. For example, I used to set goals like completing Human Physiology by the end of this month or completing Inorganic Chemistry by the end of this week. I focused on completing those. Along with that, I did regular practice. After completing each topic, I used to solve practice questions on those.”

Utilise Revision Notes: Revision is an important aspect of preparation. If you do not revise the important topics or chapters for NEET 2024, you will tend to forget what you have learned already. You must maintain a notebook carrying the revision notes, key pointers, diagrams or the summary, along with some key questions and answers in a notebook. Along with learning a new chapter, you should also revise the previous areas or topics you have already prepared.

While undoubtedly NCERT books for NEET 2024 serve as the best source of preparation, given the addition of topics in the NEET 2024 syllabus will require you to refer to some more NEET books for 2024. For this, you should rely on your teachers or guides and refer to the revised or updated study materials provided by your coaching institutes. Moreover, as per NTA guidelines, referring to state-level books from Maharashtra or Manipur will also help you get an idea on the newly added topics. “it is very important to complete NCERT books. So, I prepared and read NCERT very carefully. Along with that, I solved all the questions I got from the modules and books available. I prepared all subjects from these books and modules. For Physics, one can do HC Verma, for Chemistry, RC Mukherjee is good,” suggests Arnab Pati, AIR 19, NEET 2023.

Take Mock Tests: Mock tests for NEET 2024 are key to success in the exam. Experts suggest that you should start taking NEET mock tests at least six months prior to the exam. Hence, by now, you must have started taking mock tests. While ideally, you should start with sectional mocks, at this stage, full-length mocks are the way to go. “The mock tests provided to us were diverse and covered all possible topics which helped us be well-prepared. The regular practice of questions and taking frequent mock tests followed by their analysis helped me a lot as only theoretical preparation does not suffice for NEET. Moreover, there were certain concepts which I could grasp only after practice.,” says Dhruv Advani, AIR 5 in NEET 2023.
