- create an effective study plan
To achieve a 650+ score in NEET 2023, you are strictly advised to plan 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 three subjects. 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.
- Practice regularly
We as students have heard the famous proverb “practice makes a man perfect” many times in our school life. This is true in every sense, especially when we talk about scoring 650+ in NEET 2023-24. Various studies claim that people tend to forget things without regular practice and revision. You have to practice all subjects consistently. Also, you should not forget that there is negative marking in the exam pattern. So, aiming to achieve a high score you cannot leave any room for error as wrong answers can prevent you from achieving your goal.
8. Keep yourself healthy
Last but not the least, maintaining good physical and mental health is essential during NEET 2023 preparation. According to health experts, a tired and stressed mind is the biggest nemesis of human efficiency and productivity. Furthermore, it also makes it difficult for the student to understand and memorize the concepts. Being unhealthy during the preparatory phase can ultimately hinder your preparation strategy and lead to feelings of dissatisfaction and frustration. Hence, it is essential to create a lifestyle routine along with a study routine with special attention to diet, rest, and sleep. Eat well, sleep well and take breaks from studying to do something that relaxes and de-stresses you.
Dedication, commitment to excellence, and a disciplined routine are the main keys that will help you clear NEET 2023 with a score of 650+. Combine your hard work with smart work and map your preparation strategy around three important aspects like learning, revision, and practice. Simplify and break the syllabus as per your convenience, but do not miss any of the topics mentioned in the NEET syllabus. Stay motivated, pursue your goals with passion and always remember that it’s not about how hard you work, but about strategic NEET preparation and how you manage your time, resources and mind for better results.
