How Many Hours Do I Need to Study to Rank in the NEET PG Exam?
You will have to study for 6-8 hours per day to get a good rank in the exam. You must set a time table and fix a deadline for each topic. Maintain one notebook for each subject and keep making notes on important points.
How Should I Prepare Myself For the NEET PG Exam?
You must focus on the MBBS syllabus as most of the questions are based on it. All the topics must be learned within three months. At least three times revision is needed in one year. Prepare mnemonics for quick revisions. Solving MCQs daily can help you to evaluate your progress.
What are the do’s and don’ts for an average student like me who is preparing for the NEET PG exam?
If you are a NEET PG aspirant then you must follow some strategies to get maximum benefits. Here some do’s and don’ts are listed which can help you maximise your productivity.
- You must prepare crisp notes on each important topic for each subject separately. Notes should not be lengthy as long notes are tough to be revised in a short time span.
- You must study effectively and not hard. Make a smart strategy like solving previous years’ questions and MCQs. Do not waste time in remembering those things that are not asked in exams before or rarely asked.
- Organise your study material and do not follow random things just because others follow that.
