Mistake 1: Avoiding NCERT Textbooks

Preparing for NEET 2024 and forgetting NCERT books is unimaginable. They should go together if one has any desire to get a respectable score in NEET 2024. Avoiding the NCERT textbooks and preparing just from the reference material is one of the most common mistakes that numerous NEET 2024 applicants make. NCERT should continuously be the principal book that you go through for any subject topic. The student must finish a given chapter from the NCERT book and then look up other study material in order to prepare efficiently. Reference books ought to be utilized as supporting study material as they can never be an alternative to NCERT, as these are the Best Books for NEET 2024 Preparation.

Mistake 2: Mugging the Syllabus at the Last Moment

Once NEET 2024 exam is few days few weeks away, the students tend to mug up all the topics that they missed. This will increase the chances of getting nervous at the time of the NEET exam. All the NEET-preparing applicants are advised to revise the topics that they have already prepared instead of mugging up the remaining NEET 2024 syllabus.

Mistake 3: Preparing Only Biology 

Although NEET 2024 is a medical entrance exam for all Biology enthusiasts. However, preparing only for one subject will not get you enough scores. The total marks in NEET 2024 are 720 out of which 360 marks are alone for Biology, but the remaining half of Chemistry and Physics should also not be taken for granted. The applicants are advised to prepare according to the NEET 2024 syllabus and give equal attention to each subject and topic. Biology will give an additional benefit undoubtedly but it is not enough alone to get a decent NEET rank either.

Mistake 4: Not Practicing According to Negative Marking

The applicants are recommended to follow the NEET 2024 Exam Pattern in order to get a clear understanding of the marking structure of the exam. According to a recent study, the majority of NEET applicants forget to remember the negative marking while appearing for the examination. As only a few weeks are left for NEET 20244 exam, Applicants are advised to practice as much as NEET Mock Test 2024 and keep negative marking of the question papers in mind.

When preparing for NEET 2024, it is obvious that the aspirants get too involved in covering the entire syllabus in detail. It is important to understand that every brain has its own capacity. Trying to study every topic at the last moment of NEET 2024 preparation may end up having nothing. It is recommended to prepare from NEET Previous Years Question Papers and revise the topics that you have already studied.

Mistake 6: Just Mock Tests are Not Enough for NEET 2024

Solving NEET 2024 mock tests is an integral part of the overall preparation for this prestigious entrance exam. However, depending entirely on the mock tests is a very common mistake that needs to be avoided. NEET Sample Papers with Solutions only provide you with an environment to practice your preparation before the real NEET 2024 exam. The basis of your NEET preparation still remains the NCERT books, study material, and reference books. All the aspirants of NEET 2024 are advised to practice mock tests only after their preparation is completed.
