7. Create An Effective Study Plan
A vision is no less than an illusion without a proper strategic plan. The respective phrase truly signifies the importance of an effective study plan for the NEET 2022 preparation. In order to achieve a 700+ score in NEET 2022, you are strictly advised to develop a refined and constructive timetable. This will not only help you with the division of the NEET syllabus (as per your convenience) but will also allow you to provide equal (or necessary) time to all four subjects. Since the exam is expected to take place in the month of May 2022, it will give you enough time for revision and practice. Here are some important things you should keep in mind when making a timetable for NEET preparation:
- Make a timetable taking into account the school hours, coaching class (or tuition), self-study, and some leisure time.
- It should be framed in such a manner that it allows you to study, revise and practice each day.
- Incorporate small breaks in the timetable as they will help you to feel refreshed and energized.
- Include enough revision time in your timetable to revise difficult and important topics multiple times.
You can also update your timetable in accordance with your needs and requirements.
8. Practice Regularly
We as students must have heard the famous proverb “practice makes a man perfect” numerous times in our school life. This is true in every sense, especially when we talk about scoring 700+ in NEET 2022. Various researches claim that humans have a tendency to forget things if not practiced and revised regularly. This makes regular practicing of all the topics essential. Furthermore, you should not forget that the exam pattern has negative markings. Thus, you cannot leave any scope of errors when aiming to achieve such a high score as incorrect answers can stop you from getting the desired results.
9. Hone Your Time Management Skills
NEET is a time-bound examination as students are required to answer all the questions in a period of 3 hours only. Since scoring 700+ in NEET 2022 requires answering of at least 175 questions correctly (without a single wrong answer), you should be prepared to race against time. Regular practicing along with revisions is the only proven way to perfect your time management skills for the NEET examination. According to educational experts, time management is as important as any other preparatory aspect. If a student is able to answer 50-55 questions within a time frame of one hour, the chances of getting a good score get considerably high.
10. Keep Yourself Healthy
Last but not least, keeping up a good physical and mental health is essentially important during NEET 2022 preparation. According to health experts, a tired and stressed mind is the biggest nemesis of human efficiency and productivity. Furthermore, it also makes it hard for the student to understand and memorize concepts. Staying unhealthy during the preparatory phase can eventually hinder your preparation tactics and induce a feeling of discontent and demotivation. Thus, it is essential to formulate a lifestyle routine along with a study routine with special attention to diet, rest, and sleep. Eat well, sleep well and take a break from studies to do things that make you feel relaxed and stress-free.
Dedication, commitment to excellence, and a disciplined routine are the main keys that will help you to clear NEET 2022 with a 700+ score. Combine your hard work with smart work and map your preparation strategy around three important aspects i.e. learning, revising and practicing. Simplify and break the curriculum at your convenience, but don’t miss out on any of the topics mentioned in the NEET syllabus. Stay motivated, follow your goals passionately, and always remember that it’s not about how hard you work, rather it’s about how you manage your time, resources, and mind for strategic NEET preparation and a better outcome.
