But obtaining a good score in this exam is a big challenge, as lakhs of students attempt it to secure their position in a limited number of government and private medical colleges.

Here are a few NEET preparation tips to score high -

Technique 1: Go through both the exam pattern and the entire syllabus of the NEET UG exam. Browse extensively through NEET's previous year's papers to understand the scoring system and type of questions asked in NEET UG. Make a note of the total number of chapters in each subject, the duration of the exam, the total number of questions as well as their weightage, important questions, etc. Also, check if there is any update to the existing question pattern or syllabus.

Technique 2: Stay updated on each of the subjects of NEET-UG. Aspirants must visit the authentic or official websites regularly to remain updated with the entrance exam details, exam important dates, exam scheme, and other information.

Technique 3: Practice solving mock test papers. If a student is enrolled in an online course, the student should practice the NEET 2023 mock test papers. Offline mock test papers that are given in books and medical magazines, should also be solved regularly.

Technique 4: There should always be a focus on obtaining conceptual clarity. NEET UG follows a concept-based question pattern. Therefore, without proper conceptual clarity, a student cannot score well in NEET UG.

Technique 5: Get regular feedback from the faculty. Consult the subject teachers of individual NEET subjects, and request that they analyze your performance. You can also ask for preparation tips from the teachers. If you have enrolled in an online course for NEET UG preparation, you should attend the doubt-clearing sessions as well as the counselling sessions to work on the subjects or concepts that need improvement. Regular feedback would improve your NEET UG preparation.

Technique 6: Make use of analogies, flowcharts, mnemonics, and codes. These tools are particularly useful in connecting certain important information with already existing information that may or may not belong to a common topic or concept. Anyone who is aspiring for NEET UG 2023, must start using these effective learning tools.

Technique 7: Plan your study breaks properly. It is recommended that a student who is preparing for the NEET UG exam follows a study routine that has dedicated time for breaks. A student should refrain from taking random breaks after solving a mock test paper or learning a concept. Many students think that taking a break after achieving a milestone is a form of self-reward, but in that way, they end up wasting more time than planned, which often hampers their daily learning targets. Therefore, timed breaks should be taken between study sessions to make learning and retention more effective.

Technique 8: Focus on your health at all times. Devoting your time and efforts to NEET UG 2023 preparation doesn't mean that a student has to compromise on eating habits, sleep cycles, rest, or entertainment. Exercising and following a healthy lifestyle are extremely necessary, as a healthy body and mind will help a student perform better in the long run. Healthy lifestyle increases concentration and productivity, and helps a student manage stress in a better way.

Technique 9: Do not be hard on yourself if you are unable to master a concept or a topic in one session. Some information about a concept can be confusing and difficult to memorize. On detecting a learning gap, students should not be persistent in overcoming it then and there, and in the process, they will end up wasting more time and effort. In such situations, it is advised that a student move on to the next topic and come back to this later.

Technique 10: After revising a topic, make sure to review the level of understanding. Practice as many questions as you can to evaluate your preparation. As per NEET UG 2023 Latest News, the results are going to be announced soon, and answer keys are also likely to be published. Therefore, while grasping a new concept, or revising some old chapters, a NEET UG aspirant can follow those answer keys for review and do the exam analysis.
