Preparation Strategy

What was your study Plan?

Read the class notes –> Read the theory books –> Noted the missing points in my notes –> Revised with my notes thereafter. Revised 3 times.

How many hours did u study ?

  Minimum of 8 hours a day (Not including the short distractions in between. 8 hours means, 8 full hours of effective study). Extended it to 10-11 hours in the last 2 months.

Your tips for success ?

 Keep yourself motivated. When you stick to your plan and do your work as planned, the PG seat comes automatically. Planning and Consistency is the key to success in NEET.

During your preparation, did you ever doubt your ability to succeed in it?

Frankly, I never thought about what the result will be. I just saw every day as a mini target, a mini battle, and tried to complete the day successfully.

How much time do you think one requires for serious preparation for this examination ?

 Minimum 8 hours. Can extend to 12 hours a day

When did you seriously start preparing for this exam?

  After the completion of my Internship. (From April 2017)

Did you face the problem of volatile memory? If so, how did you deal with it?

 Yes I did. I got poor scores in a few subject wise mocks, in those subjects which I thought I was confident enough. It was heartbreaking that time. But then I realized the importance of revision. A single revision can boost the memory so much. 3-4 revisions can improved the performance multifold. Appearing for the examination without revision equals attending the exam without any preparation.

What was your daily timetable during the preparation? Were you able to stick to the timetable strictly?

 In the beginning, daily timetable was based on specific topics in single subjects. I planned the timetable to be little difficult, which requires one hour more than the scheduled time of study.

            Towards the end, I split the day into 3 or 4 parts (Based on meal times). I dealt with different topics in each sessions. Like, I read untouched topics in one session, review mock test answers in one sessions, attend mocks in one session, and revise few topics in one session

What is your advice to the future aspirants?

 Each and everyone can get the seat they want. Im really sure about it. All it takes is 9 months of highly dedicated work. If you slow down anytime in-between,  remember you are slowing down in a 100 metres race. That will cause some serious impact on your final performance. Never mind about low marks in mocks, or high performance of your peers. Concentrate on your own schedule, stick to it. You will slowly progress unconsciously.

What was your strategy for the exam day?

   I kept all the things needed for the exam, the previous night itself. Slept for 7 hours the previous day. Woke up little early, had a light breakfast and got ready for a long day. Didn’t take any book or notes with me to the exam centre. Just went early, got settled in the place early. Didn’t discuss anything with friends before entering the centre.

What was ur style of answering question. Whether you started from question no 1 and ended with last question or started from middle of the question paper.

   I started from the beginning.

Did u underwent the phase of depression. How did u overcome it?

 Yes I did. Had some health issues in family. But you know, you just have to keep going. During those days, I didn’t touch the book. I just concentrated on solving the problem so that I can get back to studying with a clear mind. If there is any other issue like this, its better to sort it out, even if it takes a full day or days, so that we can concentrate on the preparation in the forthcoming days without distraction.
