Be alert while filling the NEET exam application form.
Mistake begins from filling the application, candidates are asked to be very careful and cautious while filling the application form.
Memorizing and not understanding.
Memorizing the concepts without understanding is not advisable as memorizing fails to remember and recall the concept during the NEET exam. Understanding concept while preparing for NEET exam as it helps to write the NEET exam well.
Don’t be nervous and stay calm.
During the NEET exam, because of the nervousness candidate tends to misunderstand the question and answers wrongly. So stay calm and read the question clearly.
Read the question twice.
Do not answer the question with the single reading. Read the question twice before answering the question as the wrong answer may result in the reduction of one mark in total of NEET score. So be careful while answering the question.
Keep track of time.
If you don’t know the answer of a particular question do not waste time in that question and move on to the next question. In NEET examination you have only 180 minutes to answer 180 questions so do not spend lot of time for one question.
Do not stress in the last minute.
Read everything before exam. Do not wait for the last day to prepare for the exam. The last minute reading will lead to stress which may affect the health. So prepare everything beforehand.
Referring lot of reference book and not the main book.
Read the NCERT books before referring to the other book. Give importance to the NCERT books. Remember, reference books will always remain secondary for your understanding.
Prepare Study timetable.
Plan a study time table to prepare for NEET examination according to your schedule and sticky to that timetable to complete the NEET examination portion in time.
Remember negative marking.
Remember NEET exam evaluation involves negative marking. So do not answer the question if you don’t know as it may result in the reduction of one mark in the NEET total score. If you don’t know an answer for a question leave that question unanswered.
Lack of Practice.
This is by far the the most ignored area, which leads to failure for most candidates. Candidates focus a lot on lectures, books, videos etc. for getting understanding of the concept. They forget that intuitive understanding of concepts come from solving lots of problems, not by reading same concept over and over again. Practice a lot, that is really the key to success. Solve thousands of questions.

3 step strategy to crack NEET in first attempt

It means you must follow systematic approach to determine the extant of studies you will need to do for sure success in NEET exam, apart from downloading the syllabus.

You can check the NEET syllabus here.
Go through the syllabus in details, and map each chapter of NCERT book with the downloaded syllabus.
From previous years experience, you should check the importance of each chapter, and how many marks are getting allocated in NEET exam for each chapter. You can check chapter-wise weights here. Remember, this is only an indicative number, but it gives you a fair bit of idea on how much effort to put on each topic.
Familiarize yourself with exam pattern thoroughly.
It is important that you have in mind a complete map of the exam, timings, negative marks, and also a fair bit of idea on how many marks you are aiming for. Check previous year NEET cutoffs.

Once you have a allocated score in mind, and you have checked chapter-wise weights, you should try and allocate how many marks approximately you should get from each chapter. The total of all chapters should add up to your overall allocation to this subject. And total of all subjects should be NEET score you are aiming for.

Deliberate Practice - Key to success

Firstly, practice has to be understood in a bit more details. What is practice ? It is understanding the theory and then applying in practice. So then, we divide practice into two parts.

But more important is the word - Deliberate Practice. It's different from 'Practice'. Deliberate practice refers to a special type of practice that is purposeful and systematic. While regular practice might include mindless repetitions, deliberate practice requires focused attention and is conducted with the specific goal of improving performance.
