Getting Ready for The Exam
How well prepared are you for your NEET SS exam? Find below a preparation guide to put you at ease. Elevate your NEET-SS Medicine preparation further in the last days by adhering to the plan stated below. Lastly, choose from the different study strategies according to your requirement.
Candidates with General Medicine Background
Candidates from general medicine background or who have studied general medicine during their post graduate days are likely to fall into any of the following three categories.
Well prepared or mostly done with the studies
If you are already well prepared, all that is left is to get exam-ready. This can further be accomplished by revising the latest updates and practice solving as many MCQs as you can. In addition, this will test your knowledge, identify your deficiencies and strengthen your preparation even more.
Halfway through the preparation
In the initial days, try to finish off everything that is left. Furthermore, check out the updates and ensure that you have not missed anything. In addition, dedicate the remaining days for MCQ solving alone. Begin with solving at least 40-50 MCQs every day until you reach close to solving 100 MCQs daily.
Just Started Preparation
If you have just started your preparation or are someone who just wants to attempt the NEET SS paper and see what it is like, you have the best strategy for your first attempt.
Finish off all the tabular columns, flowcharts and figures from Harrison’s. Solve MCQs to further identify the most repeated and important topics.
Solve as many MCQs as you can in the remaining 20 days. Start with 40-50 MCQs per day until you reach close to 100 MCQs per day. Lastly, make sure you solidify the knowledge you gain during this time.
The above strategy is a simple yet effective one. Moreover, it is for those aspirants who have a general medicine background.
Candidates With No General Medicine Background
There will be many candidates from other specialties attempting the exam for general medicine. Furthermore, students from specialties like paediatrics, pulmonary medicine, anaesthesia, or emergency medicine are less likely to be familiar with general medicine.
All these candidates are liable to be tested on even terms with a candidate who has studied general medicine during their PG days. Lastly, if you are a candidate from a different specialty follow the strategy mentioned below.
Strategy For Non-General Medicine Specialties
Start by dividing the remaining syllabus in three. Separate topics you are aware of, topics you are only half aware of and finally the ones you are yet to start.
Initially, finish off topics that you have already prepared well. This will further give you the momentum you need. In the next few days, get into topics you are not familiar with. Figure out the key topics further and solve as many MCQs as you can.
Deal with the topics that you are half familiar with during the last days. Besides, you will not need much time for them. In addition, divide your time efficiently to solve as many MCQs in between as possible.
