5. As per the
toppers NEET preparation plan recommended time is 8-11 hours in a day. You may make your schedule accordingly but important is to stick to that. Besides NCERT reading, in Physics and Chemistry solve 75-100 numerical and objective problems every day.
6. Make a pocket diary to write important formulas and points which you can revise anywhere.
7. Stay healthy to stay wise. Eat healthy and balanced diet. Stay hydrated and drink plenty of fluids. Take sound sleep and adequate breaks in between the study schedule. Do not neglect your health by starving or living on junk food. Remember if you fall ill, you’ll lose next few days of studying.

In spite of its advantages, internet can engulf you with its numerous resources. You need to keep a check on how much time to spend on internet and that too for just study purpose.
13. It is advisable to deactivate social media accounts. You’ll have withdrawal symptoms but after a few days you’ll completely forget about social networking sites.
15. Maintain proper folders for chapterwise tests, half syllabus mock tests and full-length mock tests. Similarly, maintain notebooks for notes. Be systematic in filing your papers as you will find it really easy to revise at the end.
16. Remember you are your best critic! Be strict with yourself. For example, give yourself targets as some chapters, some problems or objectives and see what your score is. Set score higher for the next test than what you scored in this test. Reward yourself for target achieved and penalise for target not achieved.
17. As a
key strategy to prepare for NEET, you must know the weightage of topics in each chapter. You can also chart down this by analysing previous years papers. If you are short of time you can refer
NEET champion series. Now you have only priorities important topics depending on your interest and study them. Remember, you have to do them all, sooner or later anyway.
18. It’s a sin to cram Physics formulae without understanding the base concepts. Most questions are not direct. So, try and understand the concept behind everything you should so much so that you can derive the formulae by yourself when you solve application-based questions. Prepare from
Rank Up Physics to learn core concepts with more understanding and clarity.
19. Chemistry is a subject for which you have to keep on solving equations, understand the structural formation of compounds especially in
organic chemistry. With good practice, you will get good at it with time.
20. For Biology read, read and read. Most questions from Biology are pretty direct, but there is so much information that it is really difficult to remember even very easy questions. You have to periodically revise the concepts to retain the vast information.
