Tip 5: Schedule NEET Exam Timetable- the number of hours to study, what to study, and how to strategize is pretty important if one's goal is score 600 plus in NEET 2024.
Tip 6: Tune in a Good NEET Revision Strategy: Just studying won't help. Revision of every chapter till one is thorough is a standard mantra for cracking the NEET exam.
Tip 7: Timely Testing and Evaluation: While intense preparation is necessary, it will be fruitful only if it is backed up by proper evaluation. This requires timely testing and proper revision to plug the gaps and holes in the preparation for the NEET exam 2024. One way of evaluation is the use of NEET Mock Tests and the NEET Previous Year Question Papers
Tip 8. Know from NEET Toppers: Well, NEET toppers from the previous year are good sources of knowing the pressures of exam preparation and how to succeed. Read their success mantras to know and tweak the NEET exam strategy.
Tip 9: Motivation and Determination: The path to success in NEET 2024 won't be easy but perseverance and determination are needed along with strong motivation to keep going and taste the sweetness of success.
