What You Should Do in The Coming 12 Months
1. Create a Realistic Timetable
Following a timetable is essential when preparing for NEET 2019; however, the more important thing is to create a realistic schedule that you can actually follow. It is true that pushing yourself is necessary but setting unrealistic expectations can adversely affect the preparation. Here are things to do when creating a timetable:
- Gauge your strengths and weaknesses
- Allocate timebased on your strong and weak areas
- Take short breaks in between and do not study for more than 3 hours at a stretch without a break
- Include recreational activities in your daily routine
- Follow a structured timetable, but improvise as and when needed
- Dedicate time towards revision, mock tests and exam series
2. Practice & Revise Regularly
Regular practice and revision will surely make a difference between a good and an average rank. With practice, you will know how much you have learned over time. It is a brilliant way to gauge your preparation and work on areas that you are not confident about. Here are some tips you should inculcate when practicing:
- Highlight tough questions and weak areas
- Solve sample papers actively as you would during the actual exam
- Dedicate more time towards improving your weaker areas
3. Start from Basics
Yes, it is only a year left for NEET 2019, but starting from scratch will strengthen your fundamentals. With a strong understanding of concepts, it will be easier to solve difficult questions. Our tip is to:
- Learn all formulas and theorems
- Start off with NCERT and be consistent with fundamentals
- Assess your weak areas and work on them
4. Learn from Video Lectures
Video lectures offer a brilliant way to prepare for the NEET exam. Not only are video lectures repeatedly playable, but they also are a much interactive way to study. NEET online coaching can help you in understanding the concepts better which will lead to a better performance.
5. Choose your own Mode of Study
Every student has a unique way of preparing for the NEET entrance exam. However, coaching is shared among all students. Since there many different modes of coaching available, you should choose the one that suits your personality. If you are an online person, live online learning or studying from recorded video lectures will do the trick. However, if you are conventional, going for classroom learning is highly recommended.

6. Value Consistency
Hard work should be your second nature,and you must never steer away from it during this one year. If your basic concepts of class 11th are clear, you already have an advantage. However, if there are some concepts that are yet to be perfected, make sure you have a dedicated time slot for covering that syllabus. Being consistent with your study routine is highly critical for best results.
7. Manage Time During Mock Tests
Before you write the NEET 2019 exam, you must appear for a lot of mock tests to acquaint yourself with the exam. Typically, most students will divide the time limit and dedicate it equally to all subjects. It is advisable to complete your strongest section first before moving on to next one. Do not waste time on questions you are not confident about, instead move on to next section.
8. Take Your Doubts Seriously
During your course of preparation, you will come across various problems including doubts. It is important to resolve your doubts immediately and not keep them for long. At Aakash Institute we hold regular doubt resolution classes in both our offline and online formats of learning.
