Important points to remember while preparing a last-minute NEET 2023 study plan:

Study duration

Before you begin to study for NEET in the last 30 days, you need to keep time aside for tasks like eating, exercising, playing, enjoyment, etc. You also need six to seven hours of sleep daily to effectively retain all the important information you are studying. The remaining time can be devoted to preparing for the NEET exam.

Those students who have only studied the board syllabus must keep in mind that only 70% of the NEET syllabus has been covered and they need to put in extra effort in these last 30 days. Every chapter needs to be revised from Physics, Chemistry, and biology from class 11 and class12. Approximately 14 hours need to be allocated for your study plan for the NEET exam. 

What should be the order of spending time studying, revising, and practicing?

Solve at least the last five years of question papers of NEET so you get an idea of what kind of questions are going to appear for the exam. You can choose to go for the ideal order to get effective practice done topic-wise and then move on to reading various NCERT books or videos as the summary for that particular topic. Prepare handwritten notes whenever you are studying NCERT books or watching videos on any particular topic. Whenever you are preparing a study plan for NEET, there should be space for activities and taking up topic-wise tests along with reading materials such as NCERT books on that particular topic.

What should I focus on Physics, Chemistry, or Biology?

It is easy to be confused over which subject to study first and in what order. Many students find themselves to be inclined more toward Biology but they must remember that if they want to clear NEET, then Physics and Chemistry cannot be neglected. Each question’s correct answer will take you 1000 ranks above or below and hence equal importance should be paid to all 3 subjects.

Should I solve model or mock tests or go for previous years’ questions?

Solving NEET previous years’ question papers will help you understand the types of questions that appear in the exam and solving NEET 2023 practice tests will help you to answer all the questions within the time frame of the exam. You will also be able to identify your weaknesses and work on those topics accordingly.

Which subject should I begin with?

Many students have reported having lost their motivation when they studied biology in the first week, chemistry in the second, and physics in the third week. This is primarily because of the analytical nature of physics and it is dealt with at the very end. Instead of following this practice, one can study one topic from every subject each day so that the motivation does not drop.

Some facts based on the NEET examination

Here are some facts about the NEET exam:

• Most of the questions for Biology come from NCERT books and if you are someone who has read NCERT and Biology books from the start to the end, you will be able to answer almost all questions correctly.
• For inorganic chemistry, NCERT books would suffice and students should read all the NCERT books. Organic and physical chemistry is mostly based on application and hence one needs to have a clear understanding of theory and also practice MCQs from these chapters.
• Physics is primarily based on formulas and their application in numerical problems. So if you have formulas revised, and understand the relationship between the elements of the formula then solving MCQs becomes easier.
• Equal weightage needs to be given to the class 11 and class 12 syllabus as an equal number of questions appear from both the classes.

How to prepare for NEET 2023 in one month?

Here are some tips and tricks for NEET 2023 revision:

Question-based revisions: For practicing a particular chapter or topic or unit from Physics or Chemistry, you can choose 45-50 random MCQs according to the exam pattern in that chapter and solve them within a time frame of 45 minutes. For Biology revision, you can choose the same strategy and repeat them for all the subjects.

Comprehensive revision: Once you are done with question-based revisions, you can move ahead with comprehensive revision from respective NCERT books and modules along with notes that you prepared during the early stages of NEET exam preparation. You can condense all the important points in a page or notes and prepare diagrams that will help you go through them regularly in the last week if required.
