How to crack? / Exam preparations:
- Inorder to crack the NEET UG 2018 first of all the you should study the overall syllabus. You should read each and every chapter from the syllabus and from the NCERT books.
- You should not stress out yourself with multiple books rather you should follow a very simple combination of books that we recommend and the best combination of books would be NCERT + 1 Advanced Book of mcqs.
- You should prepare a strict timetable for the same. You should identify which topics are essential and which are not, they should also figure out scoring areas and identify areas that are a weak link and work on them.
- Students needs to learn time management skills for studying. As it is said that “Rome was not built in A Day” similarly study of NEET 2018 UG cannot be done by just burning the midnight oil or before few weeks of the exam.
- Rather one should study regularly with full hard work, determination, persistence inorder to climb the mountain of the NEET.Health is equally important in achieving our goals as it plays a vital role in our Success.
- A healthy mind will be more productive than the tired one, so a healthy diet and a sound sleep is equally needed.Eat a balanced meal during exams.You should take breaks. This might sound blasphemous at this crucial juncture, when you are possibly cramming answers even in your sleep. But this is crucial. Your brain anyway is going to reach a saturation point in about two to three hours of constant study. To ensure your brain is able to absorb and process new information, you need to give yourself breaks regularly.
Remember, while these exams are a significant and you must strive hard to score well, they don’t determine the success or failure life has in store for you. And to make most of this life’s journey you have to stay healthy forever. So eat well, study well, score well. All the best for your exam !
