Improve speed and accuracy for medical entrance exam
NEET exam pattern suggests that there will be 180 questions, each of 4 marks. Thus maximum marks you can score in NEET is 720. Last year’s toppers who got first 10 ranks scored more than 668 / 720. To get such high marks, or even close, speed and accuracy are important.
Speed – You can solve more questions in a given time.
Accuracy – Number of questions you solve correctly arriving at correct answer is high.
For high speed and high accuracy, following tips are helpful.
- Do correct calculations. Many students tend to panic during exam and make silly mistakes. Avoiding silly mistakes will ensure your answers are correct and you do them faster.
- Revise short notes few days before NEET exam. If you have self-written notes, that is very good for preparation during last few days. If you lack such notes, request a good teacher who teaches students for NEET preparation to give you notes for last minute NEET revision. Referring to notes help you remember facts that are useful for answering one-liner questions.
- At the time of NEET preparation, try out alternate methods of solving a question. In other words, if you are able to solve a question in 5 steps versus 7 steps, the former method is better.
- Analyze NEET preparation every few days. Each time you solve questions and come across certain types of questions you are regularly solving incorrectly, focus on getting them right.
Practice mock tests and sample papers
NEET mock tests, NEET sample papers are abundantly available online as well as offline. You can practice one paper after another. Ideally, you can do two papers properly in a day.
This is the correct way to solve NEET mock tests and sample papers for preparation.
- First of all, sit in a proper table chair arrangement where none can disturb you for 3 hours.
- Set a timer or alarm for 3 hours.
- Print a sample OMR sheet.
- Open up NEET sample paper or NEET mock test.
- Start stopwatch or alarm and start solving questions.
- As soon as 3 hours end, stop solving the paper.
- Now check correct answers using answer keys given with NEET mock test or NEET sample paper.
- If any question was left, solve them also now.
- Analyze strengths (topics where you could answer all questions correctly), and weaknesses (topics where you could not answer most questions correctly).
