While not each and every NEET question is calculation intensive, certain questions from the Physics and Chemistry sections can be calculation intensive or formula driven. On the other hand, the Biology section questions are mostly topical or theory-based, which do not require calculation or implementation of formula.

Hence, candidates are advised to practice these type of questions so that they can solve those at minimal duration during the NEET exam day.
