TIPS TO HELP ASPIRANTS PREPARE FOR NEET

How do you ensure that you retain all that you have learnt? Here are some strategies that might help
-
With over 21 lakh candidates taking the NEET 2025 exam, it is important to ensure that not only do you prepare well but also retain what you have learnt. The exam this year has gone back to the pre-COVID pattern: 180 minutes totally with 45 questions each in Physics and Chemistry and 90 in Biology and no optional questions to fall back on. So here are some tips to help you as you navigate this journey.
Spaced repetition: Ever wondered why a concept you nailed last week vanished during a mock test? That’s the forgetting curve at play. But here’s the antidote: spaced repetition. Revisiting topics strategically — 24 hours, three days, seven days, 14 days — rewires the brain, shifting knowledge from short-term recall to long-term retention. NCERT is your Holy Book, especially for Biology. But passive reading isn’t enough. Condense it into bite-sized notes for a cheat code for crunch time. It’s not about cramming; it’s about creating a toolkit that works for you.
